ANNUAL KAPOA POKER RUN
Help keep the Poker Run Legacy Alive
Although the KAPOA Poker Run isn’t happening in 2025, the tradition of supporting local healthcare including St. Francis Memorial Hospital is one we hope continues - with your help.
Because of you, the KAPOA Poker Run has raised more than $149,000 for the St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation since 2013. Those funds have helped purchase essential hospital equipment, including: A mammography machine, baby isolette, bladder scanner and stretcher beds.
Even without this summer’s Poker Run, the needs at our hospital remain, and so does the opportunity to make a difference.
This year, we need to raise $27,000 for a portable ventilator for St. Francis Memorial Hospital. It's a critical piece of equipment that provides breathing support to patients in respiratory distress - whether in the Emergency Department, during transport, or at a patient’s bedside.
Unlike traditional ventilators, a portable unit offers flexibility, mobility, and fast response when every second counts. It ensures patients can be stabilized and cared for during transfers within the hospital or to a larger centre.
Your gift today helps us reach our $27,000 goal and ensures we’re ready for every breath, every patient, every moment.
Please consider making a donation in the spirit of the event to help continue delivering quality care close to home.
Thank you for being part of something that’s had such a meaningful impact on our community.
