Pink Dinghy Poker Run

So, its official. The fifth annual pink dinghy poker run is cancelled for this year -- We will be back, bigger and better next year. Enjoy Georgian Bay, stay safe, and stay tuned for our alternate fundraiser coming to Zoom this fall (once the boats are put away.) Whos up for some Boater Bingo?!!

Hey Pink Dinghy Poker Runners! We are crossing our fingers that we may be able to hold our event this year - we think we can pull something together with about four weeks lead time so hope to make a decision by June 1st. Should we be forced to cancel due to the pandemic, we are looking at alternatives. Would you be open to participating in an online poker run if we can make it happen?

What a great SPRING newsletter from the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation ....even some updated info regarding the 5th annual Pink Dinghy Poker Run!

We have a clear winner, taking more than 51.22 per cent of the vote - stay tuned for the announcement of our 2020 PDPR theme!
