Danville
Firefighters IAFF Local 429 in
conjunction with the Friendly Tavern of
Danville will be sponsoring our 14th
annual Poker Run on Saturday, July 7,
2012.
The Friendly’s
Poker Run started in the summer of
1999. This will be our 8th
consecutive event with the Friendly
Tavern. Our goal is to raise money for
local charities. In the past 13 years,
over $69,000 has been generated for
charitable organizations such as; Shop
With A Cop, Make a Wish Foundation,
Faith In Action, MDA, The Family
Readiness Group, Aunt Martha’s Health
Clinic, The Danville Area Food Pantry,
The Red, White, & Blue Child Passenger
Safety Team, Project Success, C.A.S.A,
and Peer Court.
Every year, we have
been consistent in organizing a
successful event. In 1999, The Friendly
started with a group of 80 motorcycles.
Since then, the numbers have increased
to over 500 motorcyclists with over 700
participants.
For more
information contact Justin Watt, Local
429 Member, at (217) 497-3102.
Thank you,
