Poker run fundraiser to help cover service dog costs

PINEVILLE, Mo. – A local service dog organization is hosting a poker run fundraiser.

The Saber Life Foundation was founded by the family of a girl from Pineville, Missouri who has a debilitating condition and needed a service dog. The foundation helps cover some of the costs of getting a service dog, which can run more than 18-thousand dollars. So they are raising money through the pipes for pups poker run which will run 150 miles through Arkansas and Missouri.

“It started with our daughter, that she needed a service dog, and so we started fundraising for her at local events in our community selling dog treats,” said Saber Life President Danea Key. “And so once we were meeting so many people that needed a service dog, knew someone that needed one, or had one. We decided at that point that we wanted to pay it forward once we got our daughters service dog paid for.”

The poker run will be on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. There will be prizes including a raffle for a 2005 Harley-Davidson Road King motorcycle.
