What is a Poker Run?? 

A poker run is a fundraising event based on the card game poker. Instead of sitting at a table having cards dealt by a dealer, the participants travel to several locations...

How to play??

At the starting location you will receive a score sheet as well as a map of all stopping points. From there you will go to the first stopping point to draw your first card. The individual will then stamp your score sheet. This will be the same process for each stop... The third stop we will be set up in front of Sugarfoot BBQ, where you are more than welcome to stop and have lunch. The last stop you will turn in your score sheets to an advocate, and enjoy a meal while we figure out who has the best and worst hand. The best hand and worst hand will receive a trophy. 

How to register??

You can pre register at our Hope's Closet Thrift store starting May 5th, main office, or the day of June 5th from 7:00am - 10:00am. You can register online at our Facebook page (Polk County House of Hope) or at the bottom of this page and then pay at our locations on a different day.
