The District 5 VFW Warriors have organized an end-of-season poker run scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 26, with the ride originating in Colorado Springs and concluding in Fountain.
Riders will gather at VFW Post 101 on South Tejon Street to sign up, with registration opening at 10 a.m. Entry fees are set at $20 for a solo rider or $30 when a passenger joins, and the group is expected to depart at 11 a.m., wrapping up at VFW Post 6461 on South Santa Fe Avenue in Fountain.
Attendees can participate in a 50/50 drawing as well as a Wild Card Surprise raffle priced at $5. Money raised through the event is earmarked for two veteran-serving organizations: In Country: The Battle at Home and The Veteran Foundation.
The number of intermediate stops along the route and any overall fundraising targets have not been announced ahead of the event.
