Description

Later Gator Poker Run What's a Poker Run? A poker run is an organized event where participants travel via boats and must visit five checkpoints, drawing a playing card at each one. The object is to have the best poker hand at the end of the run. The event itself has a time limit, however the participants are not timed—winning is purely a matter of chance. The Event: The SWFL Gator Club proudly presents our first ever Later Gator Poker Run! We are a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization located in sunny Southwest Florida. We are affiliated with The University of Florida Alumni Association and all of our monies raised goes directly towards providing scholarships to local students attending UF. Please join us on Saturday, June 12th for our Later Gator Poker Run. This charity event will be by boat and include 5 stops. The stops are TBD (and will be finalized very soon!) but will include 2 stops in Cape Coral and 3 stops on Fort Myers Beach. Each of our stops will be at one of SWFL's beautiful waterfront restaurants that has plenty of dock space for our boats to dock, go in and get their card from the SWFL Gator Club table, and enjoy an appetizer, drinks, etc. This is not a race! We encourage our participants to relax and enjoy the day on the water and at our amazing partner restaurants. All boats will have plenty of time to make it to each stop and enjoy a cocktail, get some water, freshen up, grab a snack, etc. All boats need to be to the final stop for their last card by 4:00 pm. The best hand wins, no matter the order you return! Go Gators! Chomp Chomp! The Details: $125/person.Participants must be over the age of 21. This price includes a long sleeve, dry fit shirt for each participant, a "swag bag" for each participant, filled with lots of goodies, a complimentary item/boat from each of the 5 stops, and dinner at the docktail party, the final stop. Event starts at 10:00 am on Saturday, June 12th. The captain of each vessel will receive a complimentary orange or blue Gator flag, to fly during the event. Boats will be in either the "orange" group or the "blue" group. Both groups will head towards their first stop in Cape Coral. They will have approximately 2 hours to get their first card, go to their second stop (also in Cape Coral), get their second card, and then head to their third stop on Fort Myers Beach.Stops 3, 4, and 5 will be on Fort Myers Beach.
