Poker Fun Ride for a Cause, 2nd Weekend in June
With 2024 and 2025 being such great gatherings, we’re excited to be gearing up for 2026!
A few folks have asked why we changed our fundraising focus from St. Jude’s to Boise County Search & Rescue.
We want to keep our support local to Boise County & Treasure Valley.
As more people head outdoors, on horseback or simply visiting their favorite spots, the chance of accidents, getting lost, or being injured increases. That’s why it’s so important to support our dedicated, unpaid search and rescue volunteers who help keep us safe on the mountain.
As we plan ahead, we invite you to be part of our next big event.
If you have gift certificates, great items to donate for our Silent Auction, are interested in sponsorship opportunities,
or would like to volunteer,
Please reach out.
We’d love to have your support!
