A new community-focused poker event is coming to Lake Norman this summer, bringing together friendly competition, local connections, and charitable giving.

Queens Club Lake Norman will host a Poker Night on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at Lost Worlds Brewing in Cornelius. Built around the idea of “playing poker with a purpose,” the event combines a social night out with support for meaningful causes in the community.

The event will be held at Lost Worlds Brewing, located at 19700 One Norman Boulevard in Cornelius. Doors open at 5 p.m., announcements begin at 6 p.m., and cards fly at 6:15 p.m. Parking will be available in the front lot.

One of the event’s biggest highlights is its charitable focus. One hundred percent of the ante will go directly to the charity selected by the winning player, giving participants the opportunity to compete while supporting causes that make a difference across the Lake Norman area.

The $125 game night fee includes the $100 ante, food, beverages, and processing fees. Space is limited to 30 players, and registration is available on a first come, first served basis. Those interested are encouraged to reserve a spot early before registration fills.

Guests attending the June event can also learn more about Queens Club Lake Norman membership opportunities and future gatherings planned throughout 2026. More information is available at Queens Club.

As community-centered events continue to grow around Lake Norman, this poker night offers another way for residents to gather, build connections, and give back locally.
