Leverick Bay Poker Run

About

This year’s Leverick Bay Poker Run marks the 19th anniversary of a legendary event that has drawn the attention of thousands of nautical enthusiasts to the waters of the British Virgin Islands. During the Leverick Bay Poker Run, participants travel over a predetermined route and, at each stop on the way, draw a playing card until they complete the itinerary at Leverick Bay Resort & Marina. At the end of the journey, participants holding the best five-card poker hand are crowned as the Poker Run victors. The Poker Run has become a national holiday in the BVIs, attracting a large number of visitors from the USVI and Puerto Rico.A significant portion of donations from our sponsors – be it monetary, gifts or in-kind sponsorships – and a portion of the Poker Run participants’ entry fees, are donated to numerous Charitable Foundations on Virgin Gorda. Last year, thanks to your generosity, we were able to donate over $30,000 to The Virgin Gorda Charitable Trust, VGROC and ARC. Over the past 18 years, your sponsorships and donations have allowed us to contribute over $155,000 USD to charity. These funds are so important for the wellbeing of our island.
