The Hatch’s House of Hope Poker Run, a motorcycle ride benefitting the local pediatric cancer care center Hatch’s House of Hope, will take place on Saturday, June 18. The ride will begin and end at the Tennessee Riverpark and will officially start at 9:30 a.m., with registration opening at 8:30 a.m.
The cost for the poker run, at which a rider receives a playing card at each of several checkpoints in order to posses a complete hand by the end of the ride, is $20 for the first hand and $5 for each additional hand. Riders may also pay $5 for one additional card per hand.
At the end of the ride, prizes will be given out for both the best and worst hand. The event will also include door prizes, a silent auction, and a $5 BBQ lunch. All proceeds from the event will go directly to helping Hatch’s House of Hope provide children and their families with the tools needed to cope and thrive at the onset of pediatric cancer and the skills essential to live meaningful and productive lives as cancer survivors.
