A: Most Poker Runs work basically the same. There is a designated starting point, predetermined route with checkpoints along the way and designated ending point. Entrants contribute or pay a registration fee, collect playing cards at the checkpoints, and win a prize based on their Poker hand. In our event, participants may donate $5.00 for a card prior to leaving, stop and collect a card at each of five checkpoints, and donate another $5.00 for an additional card at the end. The high and low 5 card each wins a $100 cash prize.
A: High Hand is five aces, royal flush, and then regular hands. Low hand is a
"wheel"; A, 2, 3, 4, 5. But isn’t that a straight? No, it is a standard low hand.
A: The Poker Run is a charitable fund raising event with the proceeds going to
Doernbecher Children's Hospital.
A: The cost is the $10.00 registration fee and you can purchase 2 additional cards at $5.00 each.
A: This year's run takes place on Saturday, June 12th, 2010. Registration begins at 9:00 AM. It takes off from IBEW Local 48's union hall at 15937 NE Airport Way, Portland, OR. Just follow the Harleys!
A: Each rider and passenger can play a separate hand and you can buy 2 additional cards to better your chances.
Additional hands are available for $10.00 each.
A: No you do not need to be present to win the Harley, but it is a lot more fun when you are! Plus there are many more prizes that you must be present to win.
A: It depends upon how long you enjoy yourself at each checkpoint, but figure between 3 and 4 hours for the run itself. Remember that the Poker Run is just the start of a great day.
There are vendor spaces and activities, the FAMOUS chili cook-off (vote for your favorite), a barbeque lunch, Unions for Kids merchandise to buy, a silent auction for some great items, and raffle tickets to purchase for prizes to numerous to mention!
A: You bet! And you'll get a receipt for the retail or fair market value for a tax deduction.
A: Registration, Poker Hand cost, extra card and raffle ticket costs are NOT deductible. The IRS and Dept. of Justice consider that as
"buying a chance" for a prize. Cash donations, raffle item donations and amounts paid in excess of fair market value at Silent Auction are deductible.
A: No. That paperwork is just track who won prizes in excess of $100. The Dept. of Justice inspects those records for accuracy to comply with law.
A: The IRS considers gambling the same as income. Unions for Kids withholds 28% Federal Income Tax on retail value of motorcycle. The winner then fills out taxes as normal, adding prize value to income and tax withheld. Depending on your normal tax bracket, most people will get some of the money back. If Unions for Kids were to pay the taxes, we would have to pay 33%, that would take a lot of money from the kids. Example: $17,000 x 28% = $4,760 tax due to the winner. A good portion of that would be refunded with winner's
tax return, a $17,000 motorcycle for less than $5K isn't bad…If Unions for Kids paid
$17,000 x 33% = $5,610. No refund at all (IRS keeps it all!) and it would decrease our highest year's donation by over 10%. That is a lot for the kids to pay.
A: Doernbecher Children's Hospital has delivered hope and healing to families from throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington since 1926. Established in Portland as a teaching hospital affiliated with what is now Oregon Health & Science University, Doernbecher was the region's first full-service children's medical center. Today, Doernbecher still provides the area's most comprehensive range of family-centered pediatric healthcare services, including the area's most advanced specialty care. And as the primary center for OHSU's
pediatric programs, Doernbecher is a national leader in research and
the education of tomorrow's pediatric specialists.
A: Great question! None of the original (or to date, current) Committee members has had a child at Doernbecher, though many of us had worked there in the construction trades. One cannot go very far in this area without running into someone whose life has been impacted by Doernbecher. When posed the question of who the recipient would be at the first meeting of our then fledgling organization, it was unanimous that Doernbecher would be the recipient.
A: Our Committee is entirely volunteer, no one is paid.
A: Volunteer for the Committee and/or event day, contribute through the website, let others know we are here!
A: Email works well, for Lee Duncan, his cell is 503-329-1757.
A: No way!! We have been asked for mailing list of registrants, our firm answer has been and will always be NO. We invite vendors to put out a signup sheet if you want to be put on their mailing list. See our Privacy Policy.
A: Absolutely! We are registered with the Oregon Secretary of State, have a 501 (c) 3 exemption from the IRS #20-1784553 and have a raffle license issued by the Oregon Department of Justice #R-34329. Our current contact at the Doernbecher Foundation is Ashley Schmidt at OHSU.
