Kait’s Angels’ annual Poker Run will ride through town on Sunday.
The event, now in its second year, acts as a general fundraiser for the group, helping to pay for charitable acts throughout the community (like their recent donation of a Buddy Bench to the seniors at the Southold Human Resource Center).
The run is not a race in the traditional sense. Participants have three and a half hours to complete the course, with the only requirement being that they return to the start point, Breeze Hill Farm, by 3 p.m.
To win, “runners” compete by collecting a playing card at each of the pre-designated five to seven stops throughout the North Fork (to be announced), building a poker hand.
The game is simple: whoever has the best hand at the end of the event, wins.
All vehicles are welcome to participate in the event. Tickets are $20 for pre-registered vehicles, $25 for day-of registration, and include one hand as well as admission to an after-party with food, drinks and music.
Registration will be at Breeze Hill Farm from 10 to 11 a.m. Click here to pre-register.
Prizes, including cash, plaques and merchandise donated by local businesses, will be awarded to the best hands.
Kait’s Angels is a non-profit organization formed to honor the life of Kaitlyn Doorhy, the 20-year-old Mattituck woman who died in 2014 after a car accident at her Connecticut college. The group aims to approach life with Kait’s pay-it-forward attitude and acts of kindness in her memory.
