Sanford Elks Ride For MCCP

The Sanford Elks lodge #1470 held its annual Motorcycle Poker Run to benefit the Maine Children’s Cancer Program on June 6 with 146 registered participants. One hundred and thirty motorcycles and sixteen cars made up the group that left the lodge on a beautiful sunny Saturday morning. The run traveled thru parts of NH working it’s way to the Rochester Elks lodge where the riders were received by their exalted ruler and a light luncheon was put on by the Rochester Elks. The group then proceeded back to the Sanford lodge for a BBQ. The Sanford Elks MCCP committee put on a great run for all participants and was able to raise $6734.00 for the Maine Children's Cancer Program. Many thanks go out to Chris Roux, a MCCP committee member, and his crew for organizing this event.
