ABOUT ABOUT

Grab some friends, make a team, and help our fundraising campaign at our Fremont Poker Run!

Teams up to 4 will travel around Fremont county trying to build their best hand. Each stop will deal at least one card to each team. Some stops may have activities for teams to do to earn an extra card. Tic Tac Toe, charades, or tasting; who knows what the stops have in mind for the teams.

This is a fundraising event for a PTSD service dog. Teams and individuals are encouraged to raise money for their entry fee. There is a prize for both the team and the individual that raises the most money for their entry fee. Other prizes include the best hand of cards, and also a secret prize.

The PTSD service dog is trained through Service Dog by Warren Retreiver (SDWR). SDWR is a non-profit 501(c)3 company that trains service dogs for PTSD, diabetics, seizure, and Autism. They know in time there might be a cure. Until then they will have dogs ready to help. To learn more about SDWR, check out the their site. To join straight to our campaign, check out our campaign page.

Our run starts at the IHOP in Canon City, CO. Check in early to grab a bite before the race.

Will your team build the best hand?
