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.

vide feedback on your interest, con-

whether to be represented by a union. The thumbs-up symbol means workers will be union-
represented. Thumbs-down means they’ll be on their own. The information comes from the
