Heritage Greece New York Charity Poker Tournament & Ladies Blackjack Tournament

Heritage Greece, a transformative educational and cultural immersion program, has been made possible for over 800+ students through the generous support of the National Hellenic Society and others via its Heritage Greece Initiative. Last year, 125+ Greek American college students participated in the Program.

Thanks to the support of our Poker and Blackjack players, we are excited to announce an expansion of the program and introduce a new host institution, College Year in Athens, to the Heritage Greece family.

As we celebrate the growth and success of the program, we cordially invite you to join us on Friday, October 25, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. at the Strathmore-Vanderbilt Country Club in Manhasset, New York. This event provides an opportunity for us to come together and celebrate our collective commitment to preserving and passing on the rich Hellenic heritage to the next generation.

Heritage Greece has already profoundly impacted the lives of over 800 alumni, who describe it as a truly transformative experience. Together, we can make a meaningful difference and ensure that this program continues to shine as a beacon of Hellenic culture, education, and personal growth for generations to come.
