Purple Road's Poker Run Cruise
2019-04-07 10:00 - 15:00
This is a charity poker run to raise money for Epilepsy awareness.
Its like a hand in poker, only difference is, you’re driving to specific locations to get your cards. We have people coming from all over Southwestern Ontario. 100% of proceeds are going to Epilepsy Southwestern Ontario and the Brain Institute of Ontario. It’s not a race, or timed event but there is a time limit. Come on out and help us raise funds for this often misunderstood condition.

Entry $15.00 per car. Or groups with 3 cars $40.00
Extra hands can be bought for $5.00 (1 per car)
Cards will be dealt and a picture will be sent and placed in an envelope until you have arrived at final check point, there will be five in total
Card dealer is and will not be associated with any of the car groups/clubs
Check points will not be sent out until Saturday April 6, 2019
All participants must be signed up and paid by Sunday March 24, 2019
This is a fundraiser for a good cause, not a fundraiser in support of drama, please leave all differences alone while participating.
