Event created by ride-for-pride
CPL Keith Nepsa, was killed in Iraq while serving his country. Since 2009 we have been honoring the memory of CPL Nepsa by hosting a poker run to raise funds that benefit a memorial scholarship in his name and programs that assist veterans. In the past, we’ve donated to a national program, ‘Rebuilding America’s Warriors’ which provides plastic surgery to veteran’s that have been injured while serving in a combat zone. We’ve also donated to a local program called 'Dogs 4 Warriors'. This program donates therapy dogs to veterans diagnosed with PTSD that is a direct result of serving in a combat zone.
Registration begins at 9am at New Phila VFW Post 1445 located at 441 Park Ave NW, New Phila, OH, 44663. Cost is $15 per person. Veteran’s program begins at 10:15. Last bike out 11:00am, last bike in 5:00pm. Event also ends at the VFW Post 1445.
We have a 50/50 drawing, silent auction and give out $100 for best poker hand. All vehicles welcome. If you cannot participate in the run itself, please stop by in the morning to have breakfast and observe our veteran's program that begins at 10:15 am or you could come to the last stop and bid on our silent auction items!
