The Central West Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) funds 25 per cent; for the remaining 75 per cent, Hospice Dufferin relies on donations from the community. “Hit The Road for Hospice has seen declining participation over the past few years,” said Barb Hulse, Chair of Hospice's Board of Directors, “We really need the support of all the local riders to help us achieve our fundraising goal of $20,000 for this year's event. Fortunately, Scotiabank and RBC have given us a great jump start towards our goal.” Like in past years, motorcycles and cars can choose to participate in the Poker Run, or instead can join the guided Scenic Tour. The cost is only $30 per person (or $100 in pledges) and includes lunch. There are great cash prizes for the top Poker hands: $500 for 1st, $200 for 2nd, and $100 for 3rd. Following the ride, all participants are invited to the Curling Club for a BBQ lunch, silent auction, raffle and prizes. All participants must check-in at the Orangeville Curling Club between 9–10 a.m. Poker Run participants can depart immediately after checking-in. The guided Scenic Tour departs at 10:30 a.m. Special thanks to: Scotiabank, RBC, The Orangeville Curling Club and Blackstock Ford.
