Jay-Z is set to channel his inner James Bond as he hosts a high-profile 007-themed blackjack tournament this month. The event aims to raise substantial funds for the REFORM Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to reforming the prison system.
This exclusive gathering promises a star-studded guest list and a remarkable $1 million prize pool, with a $100,000 buy-in for participants.
Scheduled for September 30, this extraordinary celebrity blackjack tournament will unfold at the lavish Oceans Casino Resort in Atlantic City, as reported by Page Six.
The event’s guest list reads like a who’s who of A-listers, featuring the likes of Travis Scott, Megan Thee Stallion, Kim Kardashian, DJ Khaled, NBA sensation James Harden, and supermodel Emily Ratajkowski. Notably, the talented Kevin Hart will serve as the event’s emcee, adding to the star power.
This exclusive gathering is hosted by the REFORM Alliance board, a non-profit organization committed to reshaping the probation and parole system. Their goal is to effect meaningful change in laws, systems, and cultural norms, facilitating pathways to employment and well-being for those impacted by the criminal justice system.
Page Six has disclosed that approximately 10 to 15 helicopters will be on standby to transport guests from New York City airports to Atlantic City throughout the night, ensuring a seamless and opulent experience.
It’s an invitation-only gathering, emphasizing that participation cannot be bought; it’s reserved for the crème de la crème.
Jay-Z’s ultimate objective is to raise an additional $20 million for the REFORM Alliance through this blackjack tournament. This follows his successful fundraising efforts at the Shawn Carter Foundation Gala in July, where he already generated $20 million to support the cause.
