Initially, Jamie Gold was planning to only be a celebrity host for the Giving Back Fund's Big Game Big Give's first-ever after-party. Then the organization asked if it could vote the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event winner onto the board of directors.

"I started getting so involved, now I'm basically working full-time for them," he jokes.

For the past eight years, the non-profit which provides philanthropic consulting and management services to public charities, private donations, donor-advised funds, and fiscally sponsored projects has hosted an invitation-only bash leading up to the Super Bowl.

Saturday night, Gold and Michael Phelps will co-host the inaugural celebrity poker after party emceed by "The Hangover" actor Rob Riggle and featuring a performance by Common. Josh Brolin is confirmed to host the evening's main event at Lisa and Michael Holthouse's home.

"They've set records," Gold says of the Giving Back Fund's 20-year history of charitable giving. "Last year they did $1.6 million and I' believe that we'll break that record this year. Support goes to local Houston charities, like Lemonade Day, which is a major recipient."

Only 160 VIPs will have an opportunity to "buy in" on the experience – pending a $2,000 entry fee.

"We're giving away 25 custom BBO poker tables to the top players," Gold says. "For the main prize, I'll coach the winner for six months, fly them out to the World Series of Poker, buy them into the tournament, and put them up in a hotel."

The last person he coached won $150,000 during the annual Vegas competition.

Brolin is also ponying up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Oscar nominee has donated a walk-on role in an upcoming film project and two tickets to the premiere of the "The Avengers" sequel.
