Description
We host a saltwater fishing tournament every year. Prizes awarded for combined weight of three biggest fluke, as well as bonus prizes for single biggest fluke, weakfish, skate, sea robin, and bluefish. The tournament is two days. Fishing will take place on Saturday August 15th and the award ceremony/pig roast will be the following day Sunday, August 17th 2015. At the award ceremony, we also have a tricky tray raffle. We are seeking donations that could be used in any way to help give a larger donation to Heroes on the Water. Prizes for the raffle, food, drinks, etc are all things that will help keep our cost of the event down, thus boosting the donation. We also put together an advertisement book with sponsors information, as well as a facebook page and a sponsor page on our website. Last year we hosted 47 boats and have around 300 people at the picnic. This year, we hope to see both numbers grow and continue to have our tournament grow as a whole. Each year, we have selected a worthy charity to receive a donation from the proceeds and Heroes on the Water will be the first repeat charity. Thanks in advance for considering us as a possible reciepant of any donations.
