From $1200 and a laptop to $15,000 to our veterans. Check out our past year donations! our ORIGIN story Ahhhh....The Fern 45! Where do I start? It started out just wanting to have a poker run in the desert with friends and family so I could share some cool trails and views with them. Shortly after...it was planned! It just happened to be Veteran's day 2015! Figured we would charge our buddies 25 bucks, winner takes all with a party afterwards, sounded great! THEN IT CLICKED! "It's Veteran's day, why don't we donate to them?" After a couple calls to Mr. Brett Palmer of the Nevada Veteran's Coalition, it was known that they could use a new laptop, we were on it! We will get you two! (Me being confident our friends could raise enough money to handle it) Thinking if we had 30 people show up it would be super fun and a party for the books. Boy, oh, boy... I was mistaken! Somewhere around 135 people showed up, including the coalition themselves! We ended up getting them that laptop and 1200 bucks! The support from friends, family, and the community of Fernley was so awesome. I, personally, will never forget the parade of rigs marching up the dirt road to participate. The sense of pride, overwhelming, to the point i almost cried. (Okay, not gonna lie, I shed a few tears) The team of my immediate family and a few friends has turned into a committed organization that's willing to donate their time, money, and huge efforts each year to keep the drive alive. I like to call it "fun"draising! This will be our 6th year raising money for veteran's and their programs. On behalf of each crew member that has ever volunteered, no matter amount of time or energy; to all the sponsors, no matter amount donated; and especially to the 95 Motorsports Complex for providing the area to stage all you "off-road crazy-heads" ! We have donated somewhere around $50,000 now!! I never thought this would be an annual event, but here we are. Lets do this, have fun, be safe always... THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! -Kelly Walsh (President/Founder of the Fern 45) P.S. Catch me at the campfire and I'll fill ya in on the rest!

We were pleasantly surprised to see how many people were willing to donate their time and money to help support our Veterans. Annual The Fern 45 Year-Round Donations as an organization 2023 Donations Available upon request - will be updated on site soon! Year Round July 2023 Veterans Guest House Residents $500 Veterans Guest House put out a story on the local news that they were in need of some food items for their kitchen. Including Canned Chili, Canned Fruits, Spam, Chips and Vienna Sausages. A couple of our board members headed to Wal-Mart and Costco and made it happen! * Costco bags not pictured* May 2023 Veterans Guest House $7,000 This Poker Tourney was somewhat of a last minute gig and we ended up raising $7,000 for the Veterans Guest House! July 2023 Local Homeless Veteran $650 We were made aware that a homeless Veteran was staying in a U-Haul in Fernley until their benefits kicked in 2 weeks later. Unfortunately U-Haul found out and wasn't allowing that anymore, thus making them homeless. We paid for a 2 week extended stay and provided $250 worth of grocery and food gift cards for him and his wife. March 2021 Local Fernley Veteran $1,200 We received news that a Veteran needed some help with their rent before their benefits kicked in the following month. We contacted their rental company and paid their next months rent! June 2018 Local Fernley Veteran New Refrigerator News got to us that a local Fernley Veteran was in desperate need of a fridge. We called up Lowes to see what they had - they gave us a brand new one for $700! June 2023 Army Infantry Veteran New Roof Kelly (our President) met this Veteran in Denio and heard his story. Unfortunately he is dealing with some PTSD due to his time serving our Country. His wife had mentioned that they were in need of a roof on their single wide after the harsh winter. We got to it - called up Troy Whitehead LLC ( a local Fernley company ) and they were on top of it - traveled all the way up there and got it installed in no time. May 2022 Nevada Veterans Coalition $10,775 The Golf Club at Fernley and PTM Management were an amazing host to us for our 1st Annual Poker Run! It was a very successful first year- our donation went to the Nevada Veterans Coalition and we are looking forward to doing it again soon!
