The run\u2019s sponsors diverted their contributions to provide emergency flood relief funds through the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky\u2019s www.appalachianky.org\/flood fund. These donations will go to individuals and families in need, starting with those families in shelters and hotels. \u201cThe decision to cancel the 2022 Poker Run was not easy. Work on this year\u2019s five simultaneous launch events began in January, but our people are hurting, and we need to prioritize providing relief instead,\u201d said Sandi Curd, board member. \u201cOur sponsors\u2019 understanding is amazing, and their generosity a true reflection of caring.\u201d Sponsors supporting flood relief are Forcht Bank of Barbourville, Corbin, London, and Williamsburg; Heather Barrineau of Century 21 Advantage Realty; Wildcat Harley Davidson; Kinetic Business by Windstream; Petrey and Newcomb Orthodontics; James Baker State Farm Insurance Williamsburg; Bingham Tires of Barbourville; Bluegrass Navigators; Manchester Clay County Chamber of Commerce and Hearthside Bank Middlesboro branch. The Upper Cumberland Poker Run will resume next year on Saturday, Aug. 5, 2023. The Upper Cumberland Community Foundation works to enrich the quality of life in Bell, Clay, Knox, Laurel, and Whitley Counties communities through charitable giving, community involvement, and strategic partnerships. Upper Cumberland Community Foundation is an affiliate of the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky, a network of nationally accredited foundations across the region. The Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky and its affiliate community foundations serve 54 counties in southeast Kentucky and is accredited through the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations."}
