Lions Lake Martin Charity Poker Run

There’s nothing quite like spending a summer Saturday cruising across Lake Martin and enjoying a little friendly competition. But the annual Poker Run offers more than just fun with friends – it turns every hand dealt into support for local charities.

The 22nd annual Lions Lake Martin Charity Poker Run was a huge success this year, drawing in 208 participants with a sold-out event. Boat crews set out to marinas across the lake, making stops at Kowaliga Marina, Real Island Marina, Boondocks at BayPine, River North Marina and The Ridge Marina to collect their cards to build the ultimate poker hand. Along the way, Lions Club members greeted the players at each marina, handing out poker hands and judging the day’s best-decorated boats.
