Catchin for Kids

Two nice fish

The 2011 Anglers Club Challenge in August was again an outstanding event at Vinings Bay Point Marina. The 2012 Club Challenge will be same time/same place/same good time for all.

In spite of the poor fishing weather, this year’s (2011) Eighth Annual Catchin for Kids Rockfish Tournament was again a success in the most important way—we contributed over 3,400 toys to the underprivileged children of Hampton Roads. From Captain Rick Williams and all the Catchin for Kids volunteers, thank you for your very generous support this year.

The next upcoming event for Catchin for Kids will be our participation in the Mid-Atlantic Sports and Boat Show on the weekend of February 10-12 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center. For details about the show visit their website at www.VABoatShow.com.

Catchin' for Kids

 

What started in 2003 as a simple Rockfish tournament to support underprivileged children in Hampton Roads has grown. As long ago as 2005, we were winners of the "Group Achievement Award” presented by the Volunteer Hampton Roads Group committee www.volunteerhr.org.  In 2012 we are hosting at least three events for the local fishing community--our two big two fishing tournaments, plus entertaining kids again at the Virginia Beach Boat Show.

The Catchin' for Kids Rockfish Tournament has traditionally been our biggest event of the year. (See details about the it via the Tournaments link.) Each year the tournament helps collect toys for Christmas gifts and also to raise additional funds for needy and underprivileged children in the Hampton Roads communities. Catchin' for Kids places Toys for Tots collection boxes around the Hampton Roads area during the time leading up to our Rockfish Tournament. The 2011 tournament is history now, but we have already started planning for the 2012 event, to take advantage of lessons learned in 2011 and make the next event even better.  We thank you for your contributions and support in the past, and look forward to seeing you at this year's tournament in December.
