The Team Annie Rose Foundation was founded in 2013 by the Robinson family after daughter Annie was diagnosed with, and beat, acute lymphocytic leukemia in 1997. Its mission is to raise awareness and money for research of blood borne cancers and help other families in the state of Tennessee.
This past May, the foundation held its 9th annual Poker Run at Bavarian Bierhaus in Nashville. “We had a total of 60 cars, most of which included a passenger,” says Dr. Ross Robinson, Annie’s dad and president of the foundation. The Run raised over $50,000, and through the years, has brought in a total of $201,000.
“It’s the main way we raise money to donate to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society,” he says. Along with other fundraisers, the foundation has raised a total of $368,000 since 2012.
