Specialty Roofers invites anglers of all skill levels to participate in the Specialty Spot Tournament on Saturday, May 18th, for a chance to win $6,000 in cash prizes while supporting a worthy cause.
- The charity redfish and trout tournament will benefit The Wright Fight for Cystic Fibrosis.
“We are excited about this tournament because it combines two of our passions – fishing and giving back to the community,” said Erin Bakker, marketing director at Specialty Roofers. “We hope everyone has a great time for an even greater cause.”
The tournament will begin at 6 a.m. on May 18th, with weigh-ins starting at 3 p.m. at Nick’s Seafood Restaurant in Freeport. Fishing hours will conclude at 4 p.m. All fish must be caught by hook, line, rod, and reel by members of the registered fishing team.
- Cash prizes will be awarded for the redfish with the most spots on one side, the heaviest aggregate bag limit, and the heaviest speckled trout. The entry fee is $100 per angler or $200 per boat in this no-boundary tournament.
Proceeds from the event will go toward the Wright family’s fundraising efforts for the Cystic Fibrosis Fund. William and Magen Wright, local residents, have twin sons, Merrit and Campbell, who were born with cystic fibrosis.
“We want to make CF stand for Cure Found,” said Peter Wright. “The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has fueled dramatic improvements in cystic fibrosis research and care. Because of the Foundation, people with CF are living longer and healthier lives. The outlook for people with CF continues to improve year after year.”
Individuals and local businesses are encouraged to enter the tournament, and sponsorships are available. The event’s co-sponsors include Ships Chandler and Nick’s Seafood Restaurant.
