It started 10 summers ago, in 2015. The Whitney Memorial Poker Run quickly became one of our biggest annual fundraisers. Featured on the official poster for this year’s event is the “old Sarge” (our Dad).  Natalie Dodson started the Poker Run in memory of her stepdad, Korean War veteran Richard Whitney.  Richard passed away before he could make the Honor Flight himself, but the foundation that Natalie established in his name makes it possible for so many other veterans to make the memorable trip to Washington twice each year. She says, “Any time us kids would try and pull something over on him, our response – when caught – was ‘you can’t fool the old Sarge.’

See details above and get ready to have some fun to benefit Honor Flight Syracuse all day on July 19-th at Constantia VFW Post 7325!
