Reeling for Kids Saltwater Challenge

Held on June 5-6, 2015 in Steinhatchee, Florida, the event is a collaboration between NFL and Gator football stars, fishing enthusiasts and community leaders in an effort to support the youth programs of the Boys & Girls Club of Alachua County.

Thanks to the generosity of friends like you, we have raised in excess of $750,000 for the Clubs over the past six years and provided once in a life time opportunities for the kids at the tournament to fish and interact with their football heroes. As the popularity of this unique event continues to grow it is our hope to surpass last year’s total of over 375 fisherman, 100 boats and 400 additional tournament supporters. To do this, we need your help!

The success of last year’s tournament would not have been possible without the support of each of our local and national sponsors. As we begin planning for this year’s event, our excitement grows with the enthusiasm our sponsors and community members are already expressing. I believe that with your help, we can exceed last year’s goals, raise more money for the Clubs, and help touch even more young lives in the community where we grew up. We also know that without your support, this event simply would not be possible.

We do not underestimate the vital role you play in the success of the tournament and we will be happy to meet with you to further discuss your role as a sponsor. Please feel free to contact our event coordinator at 352-339-5134 or the Boys & Girls Club of Alachua County at 352-372-5342 to set up a meeting with us.

I look forward to speaking to each of you. Thank you in advance for your support of this worthy cause!
