Tiger Communication Poker Run

The 2026 Tiger Communication Poker Run will take place Saturday, June 13, 2026, on Lake Martin in Alabama. The event is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and gives boaters a day on the lake built around marked stops, random card draws, and a charitable payout benefiting the Sheriff’s Girls Ranch of Alabama.

Participants will take their boat around Lake Martin using a provided map, stopping at designated locations to draw a card at each stop. At the end of the run, the entrant with the best poker hand will win a $5,000 cash prize.

The event also includes a major charitable component. Organizers state that $10,000 will be donated to the Sheriff’s Girls Ranch of Alabama, giving the poker run a fundraising purpose beyond the card competition. The Sheriff’s Girls Ranch is part of Alabama’s youth ranch system and serves as a residential program for girls in need of a stable, supportive home environment.

Registration for the event is listed at $450 per entry. Tiger Communications is directing participants to register by phone at 334-887-9999 or through the event form on The Tiger’s website. Organizers also note that tickets are limited.

While the available event information does not yet list the official stops, route, launch location, or final card turn-in location, the format follows a traditional lake poker run: boaters travel stop to stop, draw cards, and return with their completed hand for judging. Additional details are expected to come from Tiger Communications as the event date gets closer.

The Tiger Communication Poker Run adds another organized boating event to Lake Martin’s 2026 summer calendar, combining a full day on the water with a cash prize and a direct donation to the Sheriff’s Girls Ranch of Alabama.
