03 Oct Charity Off Road Poker Run Virgil City, MO

[Ed M]

Not sure if anyone is interested but seems like there are a lot of people on here with dirt bikes or dual sport bikes looking for a different place to ride. This one is for a worthy cause IMHO. I can't seem to post the flier as it is too large, web info is here:

A little more info: Nearly 15,000 children are in Missouri's foster care system because their parents cannot provide care for them. Sibling groups often become separated and many children experience frequent moves from foster family to foster family, with little understanding of what it means to have long-term stability. Drumm helps children in foster care and homeless young adults build successful lives by providing housing, emotional support, educational services and opportunities for personal growth. Founded in 1919, Drumm has been a home for more than 2,000 children throughout our 96-year history. Today Drumm Farm is home to nearly 50 children and provides services to more than 200 while operating a counseling center, educational support program, animal and produce farm, and market.

Charity Race Weekend is coming up soon at a new race location near Virgil City, MO - Camp MoPo!

The points race is Sunday, October 4 - but we hope you'll consider coming on Saturday, Oct. 3 to participate in our Forward Motion For Foster Families Charity Poker Run benefiting Drumm Farm Center For Children in Independence, MO.

Camp MoPo is a 150-acre, mostly wooded piece of land that has 7+ miles of new and established trails. There are two large areas for overnight camping, so please come early and plan to make it a fun-filled weekend for the whole family!
