Description
1st Annual Medal of Honor Poker Run: A Strong Community Supporting Veterans On August 17th VFW Riders 2082 hosted our 1st Annual Medal of Honor Poker Run bringing together over 60 riders from across the San Diego community. The event was a tremendous success highlighting the power of community involvement in supporting veterans. Starting at Motorcycle Monkey and making stops at Ramona Lakeside and Alpine VFW posts participants not only enjoyed a scenic ride but also learned about VFW membership and the critical role our posts play in the local community. The event concluded with a gathering at Lemon Grove VFW Post 2082 where we raffled off over $2000 worth of donated items thanks to the generosity of our sponsors. This event exemplified how community engagement can directly support our veterans and local VFW programs. The funds raised will benefit VFW Riders 2082 VFW Post 2082 and Combat Hero Bike Build an organization dedicated to providing custom motorcycles for severely wounded veterans.
