It's the third annual "Bringing Loved Ones Home" poker run.

60 bikers completed a hundred mile route around the Big Bend, collecting a poker hand along the way.

At the ride's end, prizes go to the best and worst hands collected.

The event was held to benefit Project Lifesaver, a program that helps find missing persons with brain related disorders if they become lost.

"Bikers have good hearts. They really do come out and participate a lot and we had a lot of club participation today," said Liz Lambert.

Organizers hope to raise about ten thousand dollars for Project Lifesaver.

There's no final tally yet, but even before the ride kicked off, the fund raisers had collected about half of their goal.
