The 2024 Poker Run is CANCELED in lieu of the Flying Fundraiser, hosted by the Eastern New England chapter. Stay tuned for more information.
The New England Poker Run is one our 99s traditions, and our biggest fundraiser of the year!
Each chapter of the New England Section of the 99s takes turns hosting the Poker Run - our Connecticut Chapter just finished hosting the most successful Poker Run yet in October 2023, with almost 40 planes participating.
5 airports are chosen as stops, with one airport designated as the terminus. Pilots fly to the 5 airports to collect cards to add to their poker hands, which are ranked according to poker rules once arriving at the terminus. Following lunch and ranking of hands, a prize ceremony is held! Pilots are NOT required to fly to each airport to participate. In fact, you don't need to fly at all to buy a hand and try your shot at winning!
