Poker run for fallen CDOT workers this Saturday

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. ( KREX ) — In memory of Colorado Department of Transportation workers Trent Umberger and Nathan Jones , a poker run will be held Saturday, Oct. 5, starting at the Sutherlands parking lot at 11 a.m.

Any funds collected will be split between both of the victims’ families.

Only cash donations will be accepted.

Organizer Tiffany Lancaster says if you can’t make this weekend’s poker run, you can still donate.

“There’s several jars set up around businesses around town. Barnes Electric, where I work, is one of the businesses that have donation jars set up. RNR Tire is another business. So there are businesses that do have jars set up if you cannot make the run.”
