Ante4Autism is already preparing for its 18th annual fundraising event, scheduled for July 25. This event is going to take a lot of preparation to beat out last year’s end result, which was a record-breaking $180,000!

Sponsors are already signing up to support the event and donate to autism-focused groups. So far, Bread Financial has pledged $5,000 for 2026, and Planned Furniture Promotions (PFP) has confirmed it will increase its sponsorship. They haven’t set a specific financial goal yet, but Ante4Autism is excited to hear that they are working to donate even more than their $5,000 goal.

R&A Marketing is also going to be a repeat donor this year. For 2026, they’ve gained silver sponsor status with a $1,000 donation.

The presenting sponsor, Bedding Industries of America, has offered a generous $25,000 donation. The event’s Final Table sponsor, 3Z Brands, is giving a gracious $15,000.

The Diamond sponsor for 2026 is Furniture First National Buying Group, which donated $10,000. Platinum sponsors are donating $5,000 and include both Bread Financial and Planned Furniture Promotions. Anyone else interested in sponsoring the annual poker event and donating to autism charities can visit the Ante4autism website to donate.

The charities that are set to receive this year’s end-of-year donations are:

  • AJ Foundation
  • Avenues for Autism
  • Feat of Southern Nevada
  • National Autism Association of SE Ohio
  • Bridgeway Academy

Several cohosts have already agreed to attend this year’s event, including David Wachendorfer, Ashley Furniture, Bedding Industries of America, Coconis Furniture, Keller Williams VIP, and Retail Service Systems Inc.

The event will be held on July 25, 2026, at the South Point Hotel and Casino. Anyone who is interested in playing in the poker game can apply directly on the Ante4autism website.
