If not fishing with you they can enjoy the beach while you are on the water. A daytime “Beach-Party” is also in the works for family and friends who attend but do not fish in the Tournament.

The proceeds of the Tournament will benefit the ThriveWell Cancer Foundation, which was established exclusively for the charitable purposes of providing physical and financial support for persons suffering with cancer [and their families], during and after treatment, and providing support for cancer research.
