The event is organized by "Ladies," a school for women's poker and chess, in collaboration with the "Make a Wish" foundation.
The "Make a Wish" foundation has a history of making significant dreams come true for sick children, including sending a girl to see "Les Misérables" in London, purchasing a gaming computer for a boy, and allowing another child to experience being a pilot for a day.
The participation fee for the tournament is NIS 350, with all proceeds going to the "Make a Wish" foundation. The top nine finishers will receive donated prizes ranging from wine packages to a flight for two abroad, and the top three will also be awarded trophies.

Poker fundraisers are not new in Israel. The Shelem Foundation has previously organized poker tournaments for IDF widows and orphans, and Variety Israel holds an annual large-scale poker tournament with celebrity participation to raise funds for its causes. Registration for the "Ladies" tournament is open to all genders.
