Welcome
Welcome to Lake Jordan Marina's 1st Annual Charity Poker Run. This event will benefit the Children's Hospital of Alabama located at UAB hospital in Birmingham. The Alabama Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders is a department within the hospital that could greatly be impacted by your participation. This Poker Run is created around the concept of family and friends enjoying a day on the lake together, while raising funds for a great cause. The 1st annual event will be held on Saturday August 18, 2012 on Beautiful Lake Jordan.
Use this event to enjoy a weekend on the lake with family and friends. We hope to make this Poker Run a yearly tradition here on Lake Jordan and you can be a part of this inaugural event. We hope that we can count on you joining us for this great cause. It is not about having the fastest boat, the loudest exhaust or the fastest course time. It is about raising money for a great charity and about who ends the day with the best poker hand. The course will include a minimum of seven stops all over Beautiful Lake Jordan. The course can be completed by boats of all types, running at a leisurely pace. Only five of the stops must be completed in order to make a poker hand although we encourage you to visit as many as possible. Prizes will be given at each stop, so be sure to fill your event bag with lots of cool stuff.
We encourage all participants to spend a little money or patronize all of our event sponsors as much as possible over the coming year.
Whether you have a pontoon boat, ski boat, sailboat, pleasure boat or jet ski, this is an event that guarantees fun for all. Bring your family and friends and join in on the fun, Saturday August 18, 2012. Dont miss out!
