The Poker Run

On June 21st we will kick off the first Royal Flush Annual Charity Poker Run (Rain date: June 22nd). Car enthusiasts alike will organize for the purpose of raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation along with a fun filled day of cruising and meeting new new people.

Heres how the Poker Run works...

There will be five predetermined destination points during the course of the run. At each stop you will receive a poker card along with directions to the next rally point. The best five card hand at the end of the event wins. Cash Prizes/Gifts will be given away to the top three hands of the day. Co-Pilots are recommended! Mileage and Toll Amounts for each destination will be listed on your direction sheets.

Why are we hosting this event? Last year we participated in Keith's Charity Poker Run for the first time. The success of the event and the underlying purpose has motivated us to host our own event. It is our goal to spread the gift of charity and to offer car enthusiasts the chance to partake in a fun filled event.

The route will not be disclosed until the day of the event, although plan for a finish near the shore. The final destination will be an Italian restaurant for lunch (donation does not include lunch). Most items on the lunch menu are under $10 dollars. Here we will determine the winners of the Poker Run as well as announce the grand total of donations. The total distance to our final location will be around 100 miles.

This event is open to ALL SPORTS CAR MODELS AND BIKES!! A wide variety of makes and models will be represented from BMW to Audi to exotics such as Porsche and Ferrari!! Don't miss the opportunity to see and drive with your favorite sports cars on the road!!
