We are looking for more sponsors for this event - please email me at melanie@tutubenefit.com if you would like to sponsor/donate (and we would love to have you!). As more sponsors come aboard, they will be added to Sherry's Website - http://www.tutubenefit.com

Tritonman is going to be our head grill master bringing his BIG BAD smoker and secret hobo spices! We are looking for food donations, so hit us up if you are able to help out.

You don't need a boat to participate in the tournament, but there should be plenty of anglers with open seats that you can team up with, if you wish - start making connections now.

Sherry is a dear friend of mine and she was beyond happiness and gratitude when I told her we are going to make this happen! A HUGE surprise for her!

This is definitely going to be a great event and all proceeds are going to a wonderful cause. Your support is greatly appreciated and we hope to see each and every one of you out there.

Bump up to the top, this is a great cause people.

I spoke with Sherry today! She still has her trach in and is beginning therapy on learning how to walk again.

She sounded really positive and is so happy to hear about everything we are going to do at the TuTu Bass Tournament!

I have set up a website where you can get more info, donate, and pre-register for the charity event on May 31. Check it out at http://www.tutubenefit.com

Hey everybody!

Please go to http://www.tutubenefit.com to pre-register/donate for this fund-raising event. If you are unable to attend, you can also make a donation - any amount is greatly appreciated and I will send you a receipt for tax purposes.

T-Man won't be able to make it - so nascarchuck and his group from Blue Moon Smokers/BBQ will be there to keep things smelling and tasting mighty fine!

We will also be having http://www.roughneckgunslingers.com for some fun and entertainment. They will be running a fund-raiser called "Jail-N-Bail". Get your $1's ready - anyone at the event can donate to have someone put in jail. The only way to get out is to match the arresting person's donation! (I see this jail filling up fast!).

We have some GREAT sponsors and supporters on board - all listed on the website. If you would like to donate items for this event, don't hesitate to contact us. Check it out and let us know you are coming!
