Motorcycle Poker Run June 9 The Unions for Kids Motorcycle Poker Run and Chili Cook-off, a bene- fit for Doernbecher Children’s Hospi- tal, will be held Saturday, June 9, at the IBEW Local 48 Hall, 15937 NE Air- port Way. The poker run starts and finishes at the hall. Registration is from 8:30 to 10 a.m. and costs $10. A pancake break- fast will be available for participants. The poker run itself is a scenic and challenging 90-mile round-trip ride with four checkpoints. Riders will re- ceive a playing card at the IBEW hall and one at each checkpoint. An option of one extra (draw) card before the first card and one extra (draw) card after the last card will be available for $5 each. Visa gift cards will be awarded to the high and low poker hand. The chili cook-off pits chefs from the various trades. Chili will be sold and customers will vote on their favorite. Hot dogs, hamburgers and soda also will be on sale. A drawing for a 2012 Harley-David- son “Big Blue” Heritage Softail Classic motorcycle will take place at 4 p.m. In commemoration of the event’s 10th an- niversary, the bike will be autographed by Willie G. Davidson, the company’s senior vice president and grandson of Harley-Davidson co-founder William A. Davidson. Tickets are still available for $10 each. Only 5,000 tickets will be sold. Money also is raised through a silent auction, a 50/50 raffle, and through a program called “Hour of Help,” whereby individuals donate one hour of pay to the cause. Donations are tax de- ductible. All money raised is given to Doern- becher Children’s Hospital. Since its in- ception in 2003, the Poker Run has raised $271,000. For more information or to register to ride, go to www.unionsforkids.org or call Lee Duncan at 503-260-5905.
