Boyne Thunder Poker Run Opens Sponsor Registration

Celebrating its 20th anniversary next year, the Boyne Thunder Poker Run opened sponsor registration this morning for the July 7-8 event. The Boyne City, Mich.-based happening supports a pair of local charities for children—Camp Quality USA Michigan and Challenge Mountain—and sponsorships represent a significant portion of the event’s fundraising efforts. Before general registration even opened last year, sponsor registration had reaped almost $200,000 for the event.

“Our sponsors and participants are the very core of our success in assisting two of our local charities provide services to their members,” said Ingrid Day, Boyne Thunder’s events coordinator. “Children with cancer and their families and people of all ages with physical limitations get to enjoy camps and so much more because the Boyne Thunder community cares so deeply.

Five sponsor levels are available, the most basic of which is the $2,500 land-based Bronze sponsorship, which does not include a boat slip. At the highest level, there is the $20,000 Double Platinum-level sponsorship, which includes two slips. Between those levels, there are Silver ($3,500), Gold ($5,000) and Platinum ($10,000). All three of those sponsor packages come with one slip.

Open to vessels of all shapes and sizes, the Boyne Thunder Poker Run offers sponsorship packages from $2,500 to $20,0000.

Added Day, “We can’t wait to kick-off our 20th Annual Boyne Thunder Poker Run and if phone calls and emails are any indication, it appears our dedicated participants are as well.”

Would-be sponsors can register via phone only by calling 231-582-9009.
