HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Bretz Injury Law is excited to present the 2023 Ride Like MADD Poker Run happening in Wichita, KS on Saturday, Nov. 18.
"Mothers Against Drunk Driving is a fantastic cause that we're honored to be a part of," said Stephen Brubaker with the firm. "Matt Bretz serves as the Vice Chair on the national board of directors for MADD. Through his 30 years of serving those who have been injured, we've seen a thing or two when it comes to drunk driving accidents. We hold this close to our heart."
The Poker Run this year is in honor of Sedgwick County Deputy Sidnee Carter.
"She was responding to an accident last October when an impaired driver pulled out in front of her and, unfortunately, ended her life," Brubaker said. "We decided that it would be fitting to honor her."
The entry fee is $25/hand and $10 for each additional hand with donations also being accepted. All vehicles are welcome to participate.
Prizes will be awarded to the winning hand, the second best hand, and the worst hand. The winning hand will receive 25%, the second best hand will receive 15%, and the worst hand will receive 10%. The remaining 50% will be donated to MADD (Mother’s Against Drunk Driving) of Kansas.
"It's about an hour of riding, about 50 miles," Brubaker said. "It's a good opportunity to get your bike out and have some fun."
The event starts Saturday at Bikers Edge Powersports, 1201 E Central in Wichita. Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m. with engines starting at 10:30 a.m. Stops include Cycle Gear, Jay Hatfield Honda Powerhouse, Savage Cycles, Freedom Road Cycles, and Twister City Harley-Davidson.
A free lunch will be served after the run courtesy of Twister City and the PrairieThunder HOG Chapter. There will be a $5 raffle and plenty of door prizes at lunch. Donations for MADD are also accepted.
