We thank everyone who participated in the 2020 Bikes for Kids Bass Tournament. We raised a total of $6,220 this year, bringing our grand total in 4 years to $17,690. All of this money has been used to buy bikes for kids in the Big County area in coordination with The Salvation Army Angel Tree program. We will post the amount of bikes we buy after black Friday. We paid out a total of $4,260 in prizes. None of this would be possible without the support of our sponsors. Please thank them and support them with your business.
