Join Us For Day Of Fun and Poker On The River!!

Enjoy a relaxing river float, take a chance on winning great prizes, and help Wyman help our community by developing leaders of the future!

One of the challenges that all non-profits consistently face is finding new and exciting way to raise the funds needed to further their individual mission. Here at The Wyman Center, things are no different, and we are always dreaming up ways to involve the community in support of the teens who we serve.

Our newest adventure is called the Poker Paddle and it combines a relaxing float down a 7-mile stretch on the Meramec River with a poker run on Aug. 5. Starting at Pacific Palisades and ending at the Allenton access point, contestants will stop at specified sand bars along the river to collect their hand of cards. At the end we will have food, beverages, drawings, a 50/50 raffle, and winner announcements. It is shaping up to very possibly be the most fun event that we’ve ever hosted!

Please join us for this fun event. All proceeds go directly to the teen development programs at Wyman.
