One Day. Thousands of Players. Endless Impact.
Canasta Day, created by Apraxia Voice and Canasta League of America, transforms a shared love of the game into meaningful impact for children with Apraxia of Speech and charities across North America.
At Apraxia Voice, we believe the impact of Canasta Day should reach far beyond our own organization.
We created Canasta Day with a bigger vision: to bring people together around a game they love while giving them the opportunity to support the causes that have touched their own lives.
Because almost everyone has a cause that is personal to them. A child who needed a voice. A family touched by cancer. A young person who found belonging and community. Behind every charity is a story—and behind every story are people who care deeply.
That’s why Canasta Day is bringing together charity partners including Apraxia Voice, the Lustgarten Foundation and Maccabi USA, with the hope of reaching even more organizations and the people who care about them. Play for a cause that matters to you.
As part of your registration ( below), choose the Charity Partner you’d like to support. 50% of your $100 registration fee—that’s $50—will go to your selected charity.
On January 20, we’re not just asking people to play Canasta. We’re inviting them to come to the table for something that matters to them.
Bring your friends. Choose a cause. Join your city.
Play Cards. Change Lives.


Canasta Day becomes a national moment.
Thousands of players across North America will come together for one unforgettable day of connection, community, and purpose while aiming to set the world record for the largest Canasta game ever played simultaneously.
