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 memorial poker run to raise funds that benefit a memorial scholarship in his name and programs that assist veterans. Some of the programs we have supported are ‘Rebuilding America’s Warriors’, 'Dogs 4 Warriors', ‘NEOPAT’, and ‘The Fallen 15’.This year we are hosting ‘REMEMBERING OUR FALLEN Tribute Towers of America’s Fallen from The Global War on Terror’ and would like to give the community an opportunity to come and visit while it is in the area.The memorial was unveiled in 2017 and will be retired at the end of 2026.
The day of the run starts with a pancake breakfast and a 30-minute veteran’s program. At the end of the run, dinner is served.We have a silent auction, 50/50 and $100 for best poker hand and winners are announced during the dinner.
