Throttle for a Cause – Poker Run for Homes & Hope
Join us for an unforgettable ride through the heart of DeSoto County while helping build homes and hope for local families! Registration begins at 9:00 AM at the Habitat ReStore, where riders will check in, grab their rider cards, and get ready to hit the road. From there, we’ll cruise through over 70 miles of beautiful DeSoto County scenery, stopping at some great local spots along the way. Ride Stops Include: • Penny’s Saloon • AMVETS • Nav-A-Gator • Fire’s Open Road • Final Stop Celebration @ Arcadia Orioles
The ride wraps up with a fun end party featuring food, drinks, a 50/50 drawing, prizes, and plenty of fun. Why it matters: Every mile helps support Habitat for Humanity’s mission of building safe, affordable homes for families right here in our community. Not a rider? No problem!
