2024 Snowmobile for Life Poker Run: A Rally for a Cause
Event Overview
On February 17, 2024, the picturesque town of Grand Lake, Colorado, will host the 22nd Annual Snowmobile for Life Poker Run. This event, organized by the Mile Hi Snowmobile Club of Denver and the Trail Blazers Snowmobile Club of Grand Lake, is more than a gathering for snowmobile enthusiasts; it's a crucial fundraiser for the life-saving service, Flight for Life Colorado.
Flight for Life Colorado: A Pioneer in Air Ambulance Services
Flight for Life Colorado, an air ambulance service operating out of St. Anthony's Hospital in Denver, has been a trailblazer since 1972. As the first air ambulance service in the U.S., inspired by Vietnam War helicopter pilots, it marked its 50th anniversary in 2022. This service is vital in Colorado's mountainous regions, providing emergency medical assistance where it's most needed.
The Importance of Supporting Flight for Life
Emergency Rescue in Remote Areas: In mountain emergencies, Flight for Life is often the fastest, sometimes the only, rescue option.
Search and Rescue Operations: Their crucial support in search and rescue missions saves lives.
Unwavering Service Commitment: Flight for Life operates regardless of a patient's ability to pay, relying on donations to cover operational costs.
Get Involved: Participate, Volunteer, Donate
The Snowmobile for Life Poker Run offers various participation options:
Volunteering: Essential for the event's success, volunteers are warmly welcomed.
Silent Auction: A range of items, from snowmobile gear to art, are auctioned, with proceeds going to Flight for Life. Donations for the auction are encouraged.
Financial Contributions: Past events have raised over $10,000, a testament to the community's generosity.
