JCMVAMC To Benefit from Poker Run

The public is invited to participate in “RIDE FOR THE VETS” on Sept. 24, a poker run benefiting Veterans served by the Jack C. Montgomery VA Medical Center and its outpatient clinics.

 Proceeds will be used to purchase comfort items such as toiletries, shaving gear and socks, as well as help towards hosting a Valentines for Veterans Concert in Muskogee with The Temptations Review Featuring Dennis Edwards.  The concert is scheduled for Feb. 14, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. at the Muskogee Civic Center.

The Poker Run will begin at the Ernest Childers VA Outpatient Clinic in Tulsa with a free breakfast, bug dots and event t-shirts selling for $15.  The first poker card will be dealt at 9 a.m. at a cost of $5 per hand or five for $20.  The clinic is located at 9322 E. 41st St.

Riders will make stops or can buy-in at the VFW Post in Claremore (1717 W. DuPont), American Legion Post in Pryor (1105 W. Graham), Elks Lodge in Wagoner (33604 Long Bay Road), ending with the last bike at 2 p.m. at the Creek Nation Casino in Muskogee (3420 West Peak Boulevard).

The Creek Nation Casino will also host a buffet with a live band. There will be a 50/50 raffle and door prizes.  Participants must be 21 years old to enter the casino.

Communities along the route are encouraged to come out and welcome riders, many of whom are Veterans helping Veterans.
