2012 Offshore Hero Poker Run
When: Saturday September 15, 2012
Where: Solomons Island, MD
After much deliberation, and a little arm twisting, we have decided that not only is the Offshore Hero Poker Run coming back this year but it is going to be better than ever.
Oh yeah and did I mention cheaper...with cash prizes and many more fun surprises. The specific details will be completed this week and a list of events and locations with registration information will be available.
More importantly this year we have decided to donate a majority of the proceeds to help a young woman in her fight against a deadly disease. Some of you may remember Melissa Smith who is a bartender at the Whiskey in Annapolis where the CBPBA has our monthly general membership meetings. For those of you that are not familiar or those that may not have heard the latest about Melissa I have included a letter from her sister that explains it all.
There is also a separate fundraising site set up for her Help Melissa Smith if you cannot make it to the run but would still like to help out.
The poker run will be leaving Solomons Harbor at 11:00 am and heading across the Chesapeake Bay for a great wide open cruise to Palm Beach Willie's in Taylor's Island, MD where we will have pool party with lunch. After that we will be heading back over to the western shore for a card stop before heading on to Vera's White Sands and Beach Club for the finale party. Once we get to Vera's we will be taking over the beach area to continue the fun with the playing of the hands and a Bikini Contest.
The finale party will be open to the public for a $20 per person donation that will go directly to help Melissa. We will have a celebrity guest judge for the contest, Streetbike Tommy from Nitro Circus, and the remaining spots will be auctioned off for the charity.
I have included the registration form at the bottom or you can go directly to Offshore Hero Poker Run Online Registration to sign up.
We hope to see everyone this year for another great event. Any questions feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 240-882-3557.

We tend to have boats running between 50 and 120 mph so you will be sure to find some boats to run with. We also run a pretty laid back run so it is not a problem for a first timer.

Sounds like a fun run for a good cause. I called Vera's and was told that I can't leave my truck/trailer there. Any suggestions from the locals on where to launch/park? (37 AT with a big step, so I need a little depth). Any help is greatly appreciated.

Like Ted said in his earlier post this is a laid back run with plenty of time at the stops to socialize with the other teams. The total distance is actually right around 70 miles so usually an easy run for most boats on a single tank.
All of the race teams are also welcome to join us as well. We have had a few teams join us in the past and they had a blast. If any of the teams are interested just send me a PM or email me at [email protected] for the details.
