Thomasson Punky-Du

Dust off your bike and running shoes because Thomasson Family Farm is holding its inaugural Punky-Du on Saturday, November 5th. The Punky-Du is fun for the whole family and will headline an adult duathlon and child mile run. A portion of the event’s proceeds will be donated to Camp Eyabsut, a camp for burn victims located in Northbend. As a Punky-Du sponsor, Gamblin Motors is proud to support a communal day of fun for a good cause.

Thomasson Family Farm is an Enumclaw based operational dairy farm that has opened their doors to the public in an effort to share farm life with the community. The Punky-Du event will draw even more visitors to Enumclaw for a hands-on farm experience. The event features an adult duathlon (run-bike-run) and child mile run. The duathlon bike track requires a mountain bike frame for bikers to safely pedal through different types of farm terrain including the corn maze and pumpkin patch. For those interested in cheering on the Punky-Du participants, there are plenty of farm activities for the whole family along with delicious treats and music.

While the Punky-Du promises a day fun for everyone, it will also support a cause close to the Thomasson family. A young family member was involved in an accident resulting in burns on over 60% of his body. Camp Eyabsut is camp for burn survivors and will receive a portion of the proceeds from the Punky-Du event. The camp aims to “support, enhance and positively impact the quality of life for young burn survivors through teambuilding, challenging activities and friendships.” Sponsoring the Punky-Du affords Gamblin Motors the opportunity to support this deserving cause while providing an exciting day on the farm for all participants.

Gamblin Motors is proud to be a sponsor of the Enumclaw Youth and Family Services Celebrity Golf Tournament being held on Monday, October 10th at the Enumclaw Golf Course. The proceeds from this event go directly to helping youth and young adults in our community. This tournament helps to provide important services to the most vulnerable populations in the Plateau area. At Gamblin Motors we believe in caring for and investing in the future of our youth and hometown.

The Enumclaw Youth and Family Services (EYFS) and Auburn Youth Resources (AYR) work together to provide much-needed support to families and young adults in need. Necessary services like early childhood education, mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment, homeless services and transitional housing are all programs provided by these two charitable and hard working groups. The golf tournament proceeds will specifically be used to provide mental health counseling to the disadvantaged youth and families of Enumclaw. In addition, funds raised will benefit an EYFS partnership with the Foothills Wellness Foundation to provide free dental care, food, hygiene kits, and case management programs for those in crisis on the Plateau.

Gamblin Motors is not the only group invested in supporting the great work done by EYFS. We thank all of the celebrities who are backing this charitable cause. Former NFL players such as Jason Chorak, Robin Earl, Alonzo Mitz, Nesby Glasgow, Jack Thompson, Mkristo Bruce and other celebrities will be in attendance to add their support to help raise funds for these critical community programs.
