THANK YOU ALL for an amazing 6th Annual Paisley LaRoche Memorial Poker Run. ❤️💙
This wouldn’t be possible without the amazing people below:
THANK YOU to our amazing committee, they all work year round to make this event the best it can be for you all.
THANK YOU to all of you who attended, whether it be the ride or the dinner, without you all being there, this event wouldn’t happen. We saw some familiar faces and friends we’ve made over the past couple years, and added some new friends to that list this year. We are grateful for the connections we’ve made over the past 6 years- we have truly become friends with some pretty awesome people. We hope you all had a good time and join us again next year.
THANK YOU to the Warthogs for helping us ensure the route went smoothly, and that we got all the bikers to and from each location safely. We really appreciated you all road guarding for us and supporting us, and most importantly; keeping everyone safe. All bikes made it back to the dinner safely which is goal #1.
THANK YOU to the St. Clairsville PD, Bellaire PD, and Bellaire FD for helping to ensure the bikes safety along the ride.
THANK YOU to the American Legion Post 77 for opening their doors for us and allowing us to use your facilities, you guys were excellent and we loved getting to work with you again!
THANK YOU to those who cooked our BBQ dinner, the food was absolutely delicious.
THANK YOU Frank Masciarelli (Ramcat Alley) for the lightweight t-shirts and tank tops that are always a hit in this heat.
THANK YOU Ryan Dodds for providing us with live music, we love having you perform each year- if you haven’t seen Ryan sing, you’re missing out.
THANK YOU Dane D Photography for photographing our event- hit him up for all your photo needs! Dane will be a senior in high school this coming fall with a passion and talent in photography.
THANK YOU to the 4 stops for your excellent hospitality, going above and beyond for our riders today!
THANK YOU to Jess Burney, Holly West, Hunter Boyd, Kevin & Kim A’Hearn, Mackenzie Fulst, and several others that I’m sure I’m missing at the current moment, for jumping in and helping anywhere and everywhere needed, you all are SO appreciated, we wouldn’t be able to do this every year with the extra support!
THANK YOU to every single business and individual who donated something towards our Chinese Auction, Tip Boards, or the benefit in general.
Our High/Low Hand is done via a blind 3 chip draw, each color chip has a numerical amount that changes each year.
♣️♥️♠️♦️
$2,000 High Hand Winner: Bill Jennings
$500 Low Hand Winner: Karen Agar
♣️♥️♠️♦️
Our 50/50 winner who took home $921 was Diana Gosney.
It was decided to donate a portion of our proceeds to the family of Maddie and Cody Goff for their little girl, Melanie Jane and her medical expenses. They discovered underlying heart issues found after birth in May, a cause very near to our hearts, and she continues to overcome any obstacle thrown her way. Melanie is such a strong fighter and we are all rooting for her and her family to continue thriving. ❤️💙🙏🏻
Lastly- our 2025 scholarship winner, Miss. Ava Marinacci was recognized. Ava, a 2025 Bellaire Graduate ranking 3rd in her class, will be attending Ohio University Eastern in the fall to major in nursing with plans to become a Labor & Delivery Nurse. Good Luck Ava, we are so proud of you!
I’m sure there are some I am forgetting to mention, but just know that we are appreciative of all the support, and if we haven’t told you enough, thank you for all your help and spending the day with us in Paisley’s memory.
Thank you all for joining us today, we hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did, and we hope to see you all back next year to do it again for year 7… with that being said:
