Mission
With the support of dedicated volunteers, the 1000 Islands International Charity Poker Run’s mission is threefold:
- Provide an exciting event with spectacular boats in a safe family-friendly environment.
- Promote Clayton and the Thousand Islands Region.
- Raise money and awareness for…
- Make-A-Wish of Central New York
- The River Community Wellness Program for Treatment of Veterans
Our objective is to raise money through Corporate Sponsors, silent auction items, t-shirt sales and Boater entry fees.
The 1000 Islands Charity Poker Run is intended to be a safe family-friendly event. There will be many things to experience, both on and off the water. Expect more ‘slow zones’, allowing for participants and spectators alike to have a clear view of the boats at a safe distance.
100% of all donations and proceeds will be going to charity.
