The 2025 Justen Caris Memorial Poker Run was another record-breaking year! Each year we are overwhelmed with emotion from the support received in raising awareness for PTSD and in support of our Veterans! This is what the Justen Caris Memorial Foundation is all about! Stay tuned as we share more about the veteran-centered organizations that will benefit from this years poker run!
We hope our appreciation and thanks are felt and heard, both far and wide! This wouldn’t be possible without everyone who sponsored, donated, participated, attended, volunteered and sent positive thoughts our way! It is wonderful to have the support of such a large community and we look forward to continuing this mission together!
the first beneficiary of the 2025 Justen Caris Memorial Poker Run is Angels in Arms! They are a local nonprofit that supports local veterans and their families by building a stronger community to help ease their burdens in times of need! Angels in Arms is located in Bowling Green (at the former Woodland Mall location). They support veterans and their families who are in need of food, money to help pay bills, social networking opportunities, or camaraderie. They also have a store & offer a variety of patriotic, military, law enforcement and emergency response gifts, flags and other items for sale. All products we source or create are made in the U.S.A. by veterans with U.S. materials. We are thankful for the work they do!
the second beneficiary of the 2025 Justen Caris Memorial Poker Run is Little Blessings Veteran and Community Outreach.
