Return is a success

Phil Peterson is smiling! The 45th Phil Peterson’s Florida Keys Motorcycle Poker Run was a success! Blessed with good weather (because Hurricane Florence pulled all the bad weather north) and a nice turnout of 957 Poker Run Players. Thank you, everyone who played the Poker Run Game and who donated Ten Dollars a hand for a total of $9,570. Dollars. All proceeds will go to all the local Rotary Clubs of the Florida Keys and Homestead and all the money raised is earmarked for Bright Future Scholarships for the local high school kids to be able to go off to College. Thank you to all those who purchased a Poker Run t-shirt because all of the proceeds will go to Rotary as well, so if you did not get a Poker Run t-shirt, make sure you stop by either Peterson Harley-Davidson location to get yours. Also, thank you to those who purchased a 50/50 raffle ticket, we raised $1,200 dollars and Steve Bukovack from Palm Coast, Florida who won $600 congratulations to Steve.
