Poudre River Young Marines Raising Money for Pearl Harbor Days 2015

The Poudre River Young Marines are hosting their first ever motorcycle poker run. The reason behind the fundraiser is for the trip of a lifetime.

The Poudre River Young Marines are headed to Hawaii on December 7, with your help, for Pearl Harbor Days 2015.  PRYM is a non-profit 501c3 youth education and service program and this is a wonderful chance for these boys and girls to see and learn about Pearl Harbor first hand.

To help raise funds, they have joined forces with the VFW District 3 Warriors for a poker run to be held this Saturday, April 19. Registration takes place at the Greeley VFW Post 2121 (2514 7th Avenue) starting at 9:00 a.m. Cost is $20 per hand and $15 for a passenger. Breakfast will also be available for $8 and served from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

All the stops on the run will be manned by the Poudre River Young Marines and they would dearly love to see a good showing of bikes. Stops include Wellington, Carter Lake, Fort Collins and Masonville. The run ends at the VFW Post 2585 (104 E S 1st Street) in Johnstown. There will be an auction and 50/50 raffle starting at 2:00 p.m.

The Young Marines is not a recruiting tool by any means nor does it have any political affiliation. What they do is simple. They promote a healthy lifestyle for boys and girls ages 8 through high school. They teach honor, courage and commitment and a drug-free way of life.
