Remember Me Salute to Veterans Poker Run

Family & Friends of Sarasota National Cemetery hosts the Remember Me Salute to Veterans Poker Run, a road-worthy vehicle run that raises money for veterans’ wreaths at Sarasota National Cemetery. Bikers, trikes, Jeeps, cars, trucks and other road-worthy vehicles are welcome to participate. The event runs rain or shine.

Registration opens at 9 a.m. at Adrenaline Harley-Davidson, 330 Cattleman Road in Sarasota, with complimentary coffee and donuts. Riders and drivers then follow a scenic route with five stops. One stop is a tribute at Sarasota National Cemetery, where participants receive a mystery card to be opened at the final stop; rules for the mystery card are provided the day of the run.

The run ends at Evie’s Spanish Point, with the last vehicle in by 3 p.m. The finish includes live music, food and prizes. Entry is $20 per hand, and cash prizes go to the best and worst hands.

All proceeds benefit Veterans Wreaths Sponsorships for Sarasota National Cemetery, supporting Wreaths Across America Day on December 19, 2026. The event remembers more than 29,000 veterans interred at the cemetery, and each sponsored wreath credits $5 toward another veteran’s wreath.
