The Annual “ Benefit RC Fuel the Firefighters” Poker Run Fundraiser was held July 20th, at the Harbor Inn on Richland Chambers Lake. This annual event works to benefit local volunteer fire departments including R/C 287, Eureka, Kerens, Mildred, and Southern Oaks.
Since it’s inception in 2016, Benefit RC, a 501 (c)(3) corporation has raised over $389,000 to help fund the purchase of new equipment, trucks, and gear for local fire departments. This year’s target goal was to raise $125,000 we will soon find out if the group was able to meet or exceed this goal, at this current date it appears that the meter is sitting right at $100,000.
Every year local businesses and residents come together to provide support for the volunteer fire departments that work to protect our community.
The fundraiser included a delicious BBQ lunch provided by Kevin Bludso, renowned cooking legend and judge on the hit Netflix show, Barbecue Showdown.
The Fog provided live music entertainment with lively covers of classic rock tunes.
There were many beautiful and unique items on hand for the live and silent auctions to include an exquisite handmade “poker run” crafted by Nancy Heath, delicious homemade deserts, and guided fishing and hunting trips.
