Despite the cancellation of the 17th Annual 2020 Boyne Thunder Poker Run due to COVID-19, the event raised more than $65,000. The benefitting organizations, Camp Quality, Challenge Mountain and Boyne City Main Street, reported being able to maintain socially distanced and virtual programming with help from the funds received.
“The generosity of everyone involved is a great testament to the event and our community. This is truly amazing,” says Kelsie King-Duff, executive director of Boyne City Main Street.
The event has raised almost $1.2 million since its inception in 2004. It showcases 120 high-performance boats from all over the country, roaring through the waters of Lake Charlevoix and Lake Michigan on a 130-mile excursion in search of the best poker hand. The 2021 event will take place on July 9 – 10.
