What a great time!!! Everyone was helpful, friendly, curteous and fun! This was an extremely well run event! My crew had a blast and the ride to Rudee's Inlet was worth all the effort/money to get there! Winning the first place poker hand made the weekend even better and being able to give back to a GREAT cause was a great feeling! 
We will definitely be back next year and it was great to meet everyone on the board too.

I want to sincerely thank you to each and every one of you for making the 5th Annual Powerboating for a Cure Poker Run the overwhelming sucess that it was!
Powerboating for a Cure Poker Run is all about YOU! We couldn't have done it with out you!
I also want to thank all the folks that came from out of town!!! I know the time and effort it takes to make a trip of this caliber. I sincerely hope you had a GREAT time, and will help spread the word about the event.
Those of you that have not done this run - you really don't know what you are missing!
Name any other poker run where shrimp, lamb bites and ahi tuna are brought to you at the dock as you are returning from the run? What other poker run feeds you dinner on Fri, then a hot breakfast, hot lunch with your choice of items and a steak & chicken dinner from Outback steakhouse on Sat? What other poker run makes SURE the bar is stocked with top shelf booze? What other poker run gives you a soft sided cooler as a captains bag and then fills it with some pretty cool stuff? Then add in 2 parties, bikini contest, Cash Prizes – $1,500.00 1st place, $1,000.00 2nd place & $ 500 3ed place, a golf cart to take you and luggage to and from hotel, no traveling between restaurants, Hotel, Marina, & parties - it's all in the same spot. It all adds up to very fun weekend and located around the largest military bases on the east coast. All this for $350! I dare you to find a better value for your money!! Please come join us in 2014.
I really wish I had more time to visit with everyone - seems like once a good conversation started, I had to go help out and / or had to be somewhere.
The weather turned out to be fine - a bit overcast and a few sprinkles - but not bad.
I hear a certain Sunsation owner may have been seen scoping out or shopping the competition. . . . .
A committee member was rumored to have been told (in NY accent) "YA HAD ONLY TREE JOBS ANDYA PUCKED EM ALL UP. . . . . . TREE JOBS!!!!"
Again - a HUGE thank you to all that attended. Those that got pictures, please post em all, I got a few, but not many.
On the fund raising part of the event:
Over $35,000.00 was raised for breast cancer research! Each and every one of you should be proud of what you helped us do!
IF you were at the party Saturday Evening, you will remember that we made 2 Check Presentations:
• $35,000 Check payable to Susan G. Komen For the Cure for Breast Cancer
• $5,000 Check payable to the AGC (Associated General Contractors) Scholarship Fund
That $30,000 will make a significant impact on so many lives in our community ... The Recipients THANK YOU as well!
