On the evening of March 29, 2025, the community of Lakeland, Florida, gathered at the beautiful Schalamar Creek Golf & Country Club for an event that brought together residents, families, and friends with one common goal: to support the Alzheimer’s Association of America. The occasion? A high-energy Poker Run fundraiser that promised not only a fun-filled night but also a chance to make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer's disease. The Event: Poker Run Fundraiser with a Purpose As soon as the doors opened, the atmosphere at Schalamar Creek was filled with energy and excitement. Over 100 residents, came together for a meaningful evening. The tables were set up for some competitive fun, and with drinks flowing freely, the spirit of camaraderie was palpable. But more than just a poker run, this was a night about giving back. Every hand dealt and every chip placed was contributing to the Alzheimer’s Association of America, which works tirelessly to provide resources for families impacted by Alzheimer's, fund research, and raise awareness. One of the most notable features of the night was the large turnout of more than 100 guests, each ready to support a good cause while enjoying the lively atmosphere. Many of these guests were local residents who have seen firsthand the effects of Alzheimer's on their loved ones and were eager to come together in support of research and care initiatives. As the evening progressed, smiles and laughter echoed throughout the venue—proof that while the event had a serious cause, the spirit of the night was light-hearted and joyful. A Snapshot of Fun: 863 Photo Booth Captures the Moment As the evening unfolded, one element of the event stood out as a crowd favorite: the photo booth provided by 863 Photo Booth. Margie and RJ Montgomery, owners of 863 Photo Booth, generously donated their time and services to capture memories for everyone in attendance. The photo booth was an absolute hit, providing a fun, interactive experience for attendees to create lasting memories of the evening. The booth itself was a perfect addition to the atmosphere. Guests stepped inside, struck their best poses, and instantly received high-quality digital photos to take home with them. Whether attendees were celebrating a big win at the poker table, showing off their best dance moves, or simply enjoying the company of friends, the photo booth allowed them to capture the fun in real-time. There was no shortage of smiles, laughter, and playful moments in the booth. The photos were available instantly, and with many guests returning to snap multiple pictures throughout the night, it was clear that 863 Photo Booth was a central part of the experience. For those who couldn’t make it to the booth in person, Margie and RJ made sure that everyone received access to their photos through a convenient digital gallery, ensuring the memories lived on long after the night ended. A DJ Spinning Classic Rock Hits to Keep the Energy High As if the poker run and photo booth weren't enough, the night was further elevated by the sounds of a DJ spinning classic rock hits. The DJ’s selection kept the energy levels high, with attendees tapping their feet, singing along, and even hitting the dance floor as the music filled the air. The crowd responded to the familiar tunes with enthusiasm, creating an unforgettable ambiance. The combination of a lively poker run, great music, and the photo booth was the perfect mix for an evening of fun and philanthropy. As the night went on, the event turned into a celebration of both community and purpose. It was clear that everyone involved was not only enjoying themselves, but they were also deeply invested in the cause they were supporting. Raising Funds for Alzheimer's Research The goal of the night was not only to enjoy the company of friends and neighbors, but to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association of America. Through the Poker Rum fundraiser, more than $1,000 was raised to support vital research, provide support for caregivers, and fund programs aimed at improving the lives of those affected by Alzheimer's.
