BOGALUSA n The first of what is hoped will be an annual Northshore Cruising for a Cure Motorcycle and Car Poker Run to benefit the American Cancer Society will roll through Washington and St. Tammany parishes Aug. 28, and local Relay for Life groups will get to add some of the proceeds to their yearly totals.
The run will begin at Mojo Extreme Motorsports on La. Hwy. 190 in Covington at 10:30 a.m. The route will include Northshore Harley Davidson in Slidell, C&B Grill in Bogalusa, the Washington Parish Fairgrounds in Franklinton, the Abita Brew Pub in Abita Springs and Southside Café in Slidell.

At each stop, riders will get a playing card and will be allowed to purchase one extra card at a cost of $5 for their poker hands. The game winner will receive $500. Second place will get $300. And the third place prize will be $100.
"We expect it to be the largest poker run ever to be held on the northshore," said Jason Lisovicz, ACS representative.
Lisovicz said he expects at least 150 motorcycles and 120 cars to take part. And he expects the run to raise more than $27,000 for cancer research and programs.
Mojo Extreme Motor-ports has also donated a 2004 Suzuki Volusia for a raffle in conjunction with the event. Tickets cost $20 for one or $50 for three and only 1,000 will be sold. They can be purchased from Relay for Life representatives.
