2013 Poker Run

2013 Poker Run

 The First Coast

Laryngectomee Club

  Jacksonville, Florida

 

April 20, 2013 Neckbreathers Poker Run

 

Hi Lary Supporters,

April was a very busy month! Our quarterly meeting brought everyone up to date on the 2013 Poker Run and the great news that Jacksonville Fiat had offered to sponsor our second year Poker Run.

 Our major donors were The Hampton Inn Oceanfront Jacksonville Beach, Aqua East Surf Shop, Selva Marina Country Club, Allen’s Jewelers, Ken’s Motorcycle Service & Repair, Drs. Roy and Tracey David, Jessie and Tom Dattilo, Mark Whittington and Cliff’s Bar & Grill.

 The First Coast Laryngectomee Club also received cash donations from Sally Walter, Heather Beatty, Nancy Wenzler and Richard Rothwell  Our raffle included restaurant and bar gift cards and other services from Tom and Lisa Goodrich,  Beach Diner, North Beach Bistro, Mezzaluna, RagTime,Therapeutic Touch of Ponte Vedra, Ten Salon, The North Beach Fish Camp, Peterbrooke Chocolatier, Poe’s Tavern,  Ponte  Vedra Massage, Dave And Busters and Leci’s Italian Café.  

 

 

 I especially want to thank our member, Brad Russell, who has done a great job with the seeming limitless paper work involved in our Club incorporation and status as a 501c Non-Profit organization.

One of the most satisfying results of the Run has been our establishment of a loaner closet of Els for laryngectomees.

We now have ten electrolarnyxes  to lend new larys and those who need a temporary replacement.

Other supporters include The Fish Company,  Savannah Bistro, Bahama Breeze, The Catty Shack Ranch, Total Image Salon, Bankshot Billiards, Open Road Leathers, The Sharks, Tail Active Wear, Ocean 60 and Pete’s Bar.

Our laryngectomee suppliers, Inhealth, Atos and Ultra Voice helped again this year. One of our donated ELS traveled all the way to India and back! Our thanks  for their ongoing interest in the FCLC.

We remain thankful for the inspiration of our own Troll Sparks! It was his courage, facing the challenges of recovery and refusing to concede his love for his Harley, that led us to embrace the Poker Run. 

Web guru, Brad, has attached pictures of the 2013 Poker Run.  It rained most of the day but our very successful after party, the raffle of gifts from old and new donors and the auction of major gifts plus the cash donations of our dedicated supporters and our sponsor,Jacksonville Fiat, raised a grand total of $9,003.00.

DJ Tom and The LazyJ and the 420 Band donated their services and the folks at all our stops and especially, the Moose Lodge 455 where we held the after party, were wonderful. Moose Lodge 2020 donated the lunch proceeds.                                          We have enjoyed a stellar reception. Much of it is due to the efforts of our volunteer, Sharon Whittington. Sharon has worked tirelessly for the Run and is a wonderful spokesperson for our worthy cause.

Our other generous Poker Stops were American Legion Post 88, Greybeards Tavern, Steel Pony, The Bayard Rooster, Half Moon Raw Bar and Open Road Leathers. Some stops are back for the second year Poker Run and we appreciate each of you. 

Our run is a 100% volunteer effort and all the funds are used to help laryngectomees obtain the supplies they need to speak. Losing your voice begins a life-changing journey for the survivors of throat cancer.

Join us next year. WE WILL HAVE A RAIN DAY! Stay well,

Ginny
