What an incredible day! Thank you for helping make the 7th Annual Paisley LaRoche Memorial Poker Run one to remember. ❤️💙
Every year, we are reminded just how fortunate we are to be surrounded by such an amazing community. This event simply would not be possible without the support, generosity, and hard work of so many people.
First and foremost, thank you to our committee members. The countless hours you put in throughout the entire year do not go unnoticed. Your dedication and commitment are what allow this event to continue growing and succeeding year after year.
To everyone who attended—whether you joined us for the ride, the dinner, or both—thank you for spending your day with us. Seeing familiar faces, reconnecting with friends we’ve made over the years, and welcoming new ones is one of our favorite parts of this event. The relationships we’ve built over the past seven years mean more to us than you’ll ever know, and we’re grateful for every one of you.
A huge thank you to the Warthogs for road guarding and helping ensure our riders made it safely to each stop and back to the dinner. Your support and commitment to safety are invaluable, and we’re happy to say that every bike returned safely—always our number one priority.
Thank you to the local police departments for assisting along the route and helping keep our riders safe throughout the day.
Thank you to the American Legion Post 77 for once again welcoming us into your facility. We truly appreciate your hospitality and love partnering with you each year.
Thank you to everyone who prepared our BBQ dinner. The food was outstanding and enjoyed by so many.
Thank you to Frank Masciarelli (Ramcat Alley) for providing the lightweight t-shirts and tank tops that have become a crowd favorite—especially on a hot summer day!
Thank you to Ryan Dodds for sharing your talent and providing live music. We’re always excited to have you back. If you’ve never heard Ryan perform, you’re definitely missing out!
Thank you to each of our four poker run stops for your hospitality and for going above and beyond to make our riders feel welcome.
A special thank you to Jess Burney, Julius Baker, Ashley Spencer, Jed & Kristen LaRoche, Hunter Boyd, Mackenzie Fulst, and the many others who stepped in wherever help was needed. From setting up to cleaning up and everything in between, your willingness to lend a hand makes all the difference.
Thank you to every business and individual who donated to our Chinese Auction, tip boards, or supported the benefit in any way. Your generosity allows us to continue honoring Paisley’s memory and giving back through this event.
We were also honored to recognize our 2026 scholarship recipient, Miss Baylee Hornbeck. Baylee, a 2026 Bellaire graduate who ranked fourth in her class, will be attending West Liberty this fall to study Biology Pre-Med with plans of becoming a Flight Physician. Congratulations, Baylee—we are so proud of all you’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see where your future takes you!
If we’ve accidentally left anyone out, please know it was not intentional. It truly takes an entire community to make this event possible, and we are grateful for every donation, every helping hand, and every person who chose to spend the day with us.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for continuing to support the Paisley LaRoche Memorial Poker Run. We hope you had as much fun as we did, and we can’t wait to see you again next year!
