For the sixth consecutive year, the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors will raise funds for Haven Hospice Roberts Care Center in Palatka through a catch-and-release Charity Bass Fishing Tournament on April 25. NEFAR donates all proceeds raised to the Hospice, with more than $92,000 having been donated during the past five years.
Two-person fishing teams leave the Palatka City Dock at safe light and weigh-in is scheduled for 3 p.m.
Teams compete for prizes, including a $2,500 guaranteed payback for first prize. There is an 80 percent payback to one in every five boats. There is an additional $250 cash drawing for boaters who are present immediately follows the tournament.
For full details, including boaters registration forms and event sponsorship information, contact Terri Ellis at 394-9494, ext. 1325 or Glenn East at 394-9494, ext. 1209.
Volunteer staffing is provided by NEFAR’s Putnam Council of Realtors and Haven Hospice team members.
