ATV Poker Run Raises Nearly $10,000 for Breast Cancer Support
A unique poker run, featuring all-terrain vehicles (adn mountain bikes!), took place on the slopes of Saint-honoré last Saturday. The event proved to be a meaningful success, attracting over 150 participants eager to support a vital cause: assisting women battling breast cancer. A total of $9,748 was generously donated to the Jonquière Health Foundation.
“This was a mountain bike ride with a twist,” explained Gaétan Jolin,a member of the organizing committee. “There were checkpoints along the route. At each stop, participants received an envelope containing a playing card, simulating a real poker hand. They completed the course and then revealed thier hands to determine the winners.”
The event’s innovative format and strong community support contributed to its success. Organizers expressed gratitude for the enthusiastic participation and the substantial funds raised for the Jonquière Health Foundation, which will directly benefit women in the region receiving breast cancer care.
