Living at a waterfront condo at the Lake of the Ozarks gives you access to fun Lake activities like poker runs! There are many different poker runs throughout the boating season that benefit different organizations. This weekend’s event is the third annual Warriors Against Melanoma. All proceeds from the event will be donated to melanoma research and to families of those battling late-stage melanoma. Isla Del Sol has all the information on this year’s event:
Warriors Against Melanoma
Carola, a stage III melanoma survivor, founded Warriors Against Melanoma (WAM) in 2014. Carola founded WAM to not only raise funds for research but to also raise awareness of the deadliest skin cancer. The organization holds several events each year, including a Trivia Night event and the poker run fundraiser. WAM primarily raises money to donate to melanoma research. However, it also donates to the Miles Against Melanoma Family Assistance Program, which helps families battling late-stage melanoma who need help with medical expenses.
WAM Poker Run
In order to participate in the event, players make a donation of $20 to play a poker hand. They are dealt a card at each Poker Run stop. The top three poker hands win prizes. Winners are announced within a week after the event takes place. Prizes include a new iPad and Lake Area gift certificates worth hundreds of dollars. However, this poker run is a little different. At each stop, players are given a fact on melanoma or skin cancer. If the player can recite these facts at the party at The Topsider Bar & Grill, they receive a free bonus card to add to their poker hand. Try your luck and see if you can win!
Poker Stops:
Bulldog’s Bar & Grill
Nautifish
Larry’s on the Lake
Paradise

Dog Days Bar & Grill
The Topsider Bar & Grill
After the poker run, there will be an after party at The Topsider Bar & Grill starting at 7:00 p.m. Enjoy great dancing and delicious food. Come on out and enjoy a good time with friends while supporting a great cause!
