2nd Annual Poker Run pays for kids to take field trips

The cost of transportation is the single biggest obstacle to Washington's kids taking field trips to the Washington State History Museum, where they are able to enrich their Washington history education. The 2nd Annual Poker Run will raise money to benefit the Field Trip Transportation Fund and help Washington's kids.

This past school year, the Field Trip Transportation Fund paid for 32 buses, or about 1,600 kids, to visit the History Museum. We would love to have the means to grant money to even more schools this coming year.

You can help!

Join the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club and other local motorcycle clubs and riders as they ride from Tacoma to Olympia and back, ending at The Swiss Restaurant & Pub where prizes will be drawn for the best and worst poker hands. It's a great ride with great people and for a great cause!
