LOCAL MOTION ] Group wants to revive Unions for Kids motorcycle poker run for Doernbecher A group of union members wants to try to revive the Unions for Kids (U4K) motorcycle poker run, a fundraiser for Doernbecher Chil- dren’s Hospital. Unions for Kids was established in 2003 by several members of IBEW Local 48. It’s a nonprofit, all- volunteer organization with 100 per- cent of proceeds going to help sick children at Doernbecher. Most of the money is raised through a raffle for a new Harley-Davidson motorcycle. During its 12-year run, which ended in June 2014, the event raised $465,000 for Doernbecher. It folded not for lack of partici- pation, but because it was a lot of work for the few folks who organ- ized it. Lee Duncan, a co-founder and president of U4K, retired in 2014. He and his wife Kathy, also a member of Local 48, coordinated the event. Duncan tried to find a successor, but was not successful. A couple weeks ago, Scott Old- ham, an organizer for Painters and Allied Workers District Council 5, put out feelers to see if there was any interest in bringing the poker run back. Several people responded to the email, including Duncan and U4K treasurer Rob Williamson of IBEW & United Workers Federal Credit Union, who said they would help with the transition as advisers. A meeting is set for Monday, Feb. 22 at 5 p.m. at the Painters Hall, 11105 NE Sandy Blvd., Portland.
