Southern Utah riders and community members are invited to hit the road for a cause as the 11th Annual Vets Helping Vets Poker Run takes place Saturday, June 13, hosted by the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association® Chapter 49-4.
The event begins with registration from 10 AM to 11:30 AM at 437 Aviation Way in Cedar City, with participants setting out on an approximately 100-mile scenic route through Southern Utah’s mountain landscapes. Designed to be inclusive, the poker run is open to all, whether participants choose to ride a motorcycle or drive a car or truck.
The annual event is a key fundraiser for the organization, with all proceeds going directly toward assisting veterans and their families in local Southern Utah communities. As a 501(c)(19) nonprofit, the chapter ensures that 100% of funds raised stay within the region to provide meaningful, direct support.
Participants can pre-register online and are encouraged to sign up early. Those unable to attend can still contribute by donating, sponsoring the event, or connecting with the organization to learn more about its ongoing efforts.
