The second annual Firefighter’s Poker Pedal, organized by members of the International Association of Fire Fighters Local No. 2139 Incline Village and Crystal Bay firefighters of the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District, proved to be another success, as they pedaled their way to raise $1,500 ($500 more than last year’s event) that will go toward the Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation.

This summer more than 36 riders rode a 9-mile loop starting at the Great Basin Brewery on South Virginia Street and ending at Silver Peak Restaurant.

The donated funds will go toward research, family assistance, advocacy, clinic assistance and other awareness programs.
