Poker Run and Car Cruise Slated For May 6
Fundraiser to benefit St. Barnabas Pennies for Patients
Gibsonia, Pa. - May 1, 2007 - Car and motorcycle enthusiasts are invited to participate in the second annual Pennies for Patients Poker Run and Car Cruise on Sunday, May 6. The registration fee is $10 per hand and will benefit St. Barnabas Charities' Pennies for Patients campaign, which aims to raise 2 million pennies to benefit poor and low-income patients at St. Barnabas Nursing Home, Valencia Woods at St. Barnabas and The Arbors at St. Barnabas.
Participants will visit five hosts along a 27-mile route in the Route 8/Richland Township area, receiving a playing card at each stop. The goal is to draw a winning poker hand and prizes will be awarded at the final destination, The Washington Place at St. Barnabas, where a car cruise will take place. Participants will include many enthusiasts from area Corvette, car and motorcycle clubs, as well as owners of antique, collectable or even modern cars. John Cigna, former KDKA morning radio personality, and the Cigna Riders Motorcycle Club will also join the festivities.
