Join us for a thrilling day on Lake Koocanusa, the crown jewel of NW Montana, to benefit DREAM Adaptive Recreation, a local organization that enhances the quality of life of individuals with disabilities by providing year-round outdoor adaptive recreational opportunities.

Here’s how it works:

• Open to all boats and jet skis! No matter your vessel, come cruise the scenic route around the lake and collect your best poker hand.
• Donations are voluntary. This is a community-powered event hosted by Abayance Bay to benefit DREAM Adaptive Recreation. A suggested contribution of $100 per boat for your initial hands and $50 per additional hand will help us pass along meaningful support to this incredible nonprofit. Donations can be made during check-in at the Marina.  Donors may receive coupons, gifts and free sponsor swag as a thank you!
• Explore the lake in style! Follow the provided map and visit the designated checkpoints around the lake to collect your hand, enjoying the beautiful scenery and camaraderie with fellow boaters. Play fun games and contests at the checkpoints and sponsors at each stop.
• Party at the finish line! Celebrate with your fellow Kooca Runners, win prizes for the BEST THEME and BEST CREW SPIRIT boats and collecting the best card hands, and party the night away with MARTY O’REILLY on the Main Stage.  Food and drinks are served at the Highwater Bar until 10pm!
• Don’t have a boat?  Rent one of ours!  Click Here to check availability of our rental fleet

More than your average Run:

This event is about more than winning cards – it’s about supporting a great cause. DREAM provides life-changing opportunities for people with disabilities, including veterans, and your participation helps make it possible.  A portion of all proceeds from the Poker Run will be donated to DREAM.

If you want to be a DEALER instead of a runner, please indicate your interest on the registration form. Dealers receive a food and beverage credit or gas credit to use at Abayance Bay.

Pre-Registration is now open!  Sign up NOW to lock in your spot and speed things up on event day.  All donations, and your choice of how many hands to play, will be processed onsite when you arrive.

Together, let’s make a splash for DREAM Adaptive!
