For the second year in a row, Politis & Matovina, P.A. hosts our annual Bikers Against Breast Cancer Poker Run. The event will take place on November 3, 2019. Registration begins at 8:30am at Beaver Bar Ormond Beach and includes a breakfast buffet. Each rider pays $25 to participate in the ride, with a $15 fee for passengers, and the first 250 riders/guests will receive a T-shirt and event swag.
Each participant obtains a poker hand throughout the ride and can purchase an additional hand for $10. Awards will be given for best hand and 4 runner up winners. There will be a 50/50 drawing and raffle items as well. Bikers will cruise through 5 “Card Stops” to collect their cards before playing their hands at the end of the ride.
The charity ride benefits the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, which is the largest network of breast cancer events in the nation. Through walks and creative events like the Poker Run, Making Strides raises money to help the American Cancer Society fund groundbreaking research and provide free services to those diagnosed with breast cancer.
Why We Support Making Strides
At Politis & Matovonia, P.A., we understand that almost everyone has been touched by breast cancer in some way. Our events with Making Strides help make a difference, one participant at a time. Let’s ride forward and leave breast cancer behind!
