About this event
Spring is here, and by popular demand, Schonesland Region of the Porsche Club of America will engage in our annual Poker Run to benefit the Major Benjamin Follansbee Pets for Vets Memorial Fund at Animal Friends. Last year we raised nearly $1200 and got our contribution matched by an anonymous donor. The Memorial Fund continues to thrive with our support.
For those new to the Poker Run, it goes like this: you arrive at the start location 175 S 9th St, West Des Moines (near The Hall DSM) at 8:30AM. Once we have completed preliminaries, we fire up the engines and head out for a group blast across and through some of the finest scenery and corners in the Des Moines metro area. Along the way are designated stops, and at each stop, each participant will draw a card. At the last stop -- the Northside Cafe in Winterset, IA -- we'll have lunch, offer up extra playing cards for purchase if anyone wishes to improve their hand, and determine our winner! A prize will be awarded to the holder of the best poker hand, but the real victor will be our Memorial Fund.
