Charity fishing tournament to support veterans

Stuart News - 2/8/2017

JENSEN BEACH – Do you remember sitting with your dad and grandpa waiting with anticipation as that bobber went up and down and then finally you yelled "fish on"? Do you want your kids to understand the importance of quality time with their loved ones? Could your office environment use a great corporate bonding experience that also benefits veterans in our community?

In our hectic world of iPhones, iPads, Facebook and Instagram, wouldn't it be nice to take a trip down memory lane and revisit your youth or make new memories that will last a lifetime. We have an opportunity for you to do just that. Come out to Hurricane Bar and Grill in Jensen Beach on Feb. 11 to sign up for our two-week fishing tournament to benefit Courage on All Fronts, a local 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for veterans, service members and their families.

The fishing tournament runs Feb. 11-26. The tournament is going to kick off at Hurricanes Bar and Grill in Jensen Beach on Feb. 11 from 5 to 8 p.m. Must be present to enter the tournament. Even if you don't fish you can still come out and have a great time with friends and family and support our troops and veterans at the same time.

Southern Eagle Distributing is sponsoring this great event and all the money raised will be going to Courage on All Fronts.

The Redfish and Trout Charity Fishing Tournament was created from one fisherman's passion for fishing and for giving back to the local community.

Chris Beachwalker, a local charter fisherman, wants the community to know that "It is vitally important to let our troops and veterans know how much their sacrifices mean to the people in our community."

The programs that Courage on All Fronts provides to our local veterans allows veterans to have experiences that let them know they are valued, appreciated, and remembered. One program of Courage on All Fronts is Outdoor Adventures where veterans of all wars come together for a relaxing day of comradery on the water. Courage on All Fronts has had the pleasure of taking World War II veterans to Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans out on deep sea fishing trips. Courage on All Front also sponsors the complete training and placement of service dogs for combat veterans, equine assisted learning, and care packages for the troops programs.
