HD Poker Run Bike Ride

The Bikers for Huntington’s Disease committee would like to thank the following for making the event so successful.  For our first Poker Run we netted over $2,500, had over 50 riders and another 20-30 at the pig roast party.  The weather was beautiful, the ride was very enjoyable and the food was terrific.  All who came cannot wait until next year!!!!

With the anonymous foundation that matches any money raised through HDSA we now have $7,500 to go towards the care and cure of Huntington’s Disease

Beth & Carl of Knuckleheads Café-they donated the use of their establishment for the event, breakfast, a yummy pig roast buffet, raffle items, a great rock & roll band-The XYZ Factor, and much more. 

Joe Kowalski of Trantolo & Trantolo- his guidance and consulting advice led to Beth, public service announcements on WCCC advertising the event, sponsorships from Bazzuto’s and Trantolo & Trantolo as well as featuring our event as one of the 2 events to go to on that day. He also attended along with 2 of his “girls”

Kevin Hogan of WFSB- He rode with us and made many new fans along the way who met him at registration and rode with him on the run. He provided much needed awareness by having news footage of the ride on the late night news. We look forward to having him next year be able to enjoy the party along with his family.
