POKER CLUB DONATES TO HOSPICE

Members of the WaSop Poker Club present a check to Kara Walker of Big Bend Hospice.

Special to The Sun

The WaSop Poker Club at Wakulla Moose Lodge #2510 was excited to gift Big Bend Hospice with a check for $1,027 to benefit the patient-families in Wakulla County. The poker club is comprised of Moose Lodge Members and has games every Monday and Tuesday night. They have room for 20 players each week and have a consistent group that attends. The buy in money that is collected is then donated to a local charity of choice. The charity of choice for the funds raised in June 2023 was Big Bend Hospice. The Wakulla Moose Lodge #2510 has been proud of supporters of Big Bend Hospice in the past, including purchasing meals for patient-families at Thanksgiving time.
Kara Walker, Volunteer Coordinator, was honored to be presented with the check and to speak to the club about how the funds will be raised and the current need for volunteers in Wakulla County. Funds that are donated to Big Bend Hospice are used for a variety of patient needs, including purchasing Ensure, space heaters, AC units, etc. If you are interested in learning more about how Big Bend Hospice serves the community or becoming a volunteer, please reach out to Kara Walker at kmwalker@bigbendhospice.org.
