1000 Islands Charity Boat Poker Run

1000 Islands Charity Poker Run

Slide 4th Annual Charity Run Has Been Canceled Due To Covid-19 It is with great sadness to announce that the Board for the Thousand Islands Charity Poker Run Corp has made the difficult decision to cancel the 4th Annual Poker Run. Canada's travel restrictions along the U.S. border have been extended for an additional 30 days, now expiring on July 21st. This is an obstacle we do not feel we can overcome. A good portion of the run itself takes place in Canadian waters which is now prohibited during our event, unfortunately. We are hopeful we will still have funds to donate to our benefactors. They are struggling to raise money during these unprecedented times as so many of their other fundraising events have been canceled.

We will be following up with an email to all participants and sponsors asking how they would like their money used; (1) donation in full or partially refunded, (2) fully refunded or (3) held for next year’s event.

We are confident we will come together again and enjoy the great Thousand Islands Region.
