We have decided to do a tournament on July 3rd. It is a Saturday and by the look on the CFF calendar there isn't anything going on that day. This tournament is to benefit 3 Firefighter families here in Chattanooga and is being put on by Chattanooga Professional Firefighters Association Local 820. The Entry fee is $50 a boat. It will be from Safe light till 12 noon. It will be out of Chester Frost and locking through is ok. We are just wanting to help these families that help out strangers daily in their career. I won't mention any names but One firefighter's son has a stage 4 cancer, the other firefighter's daughter has a tumor behind her eye, and the 3rd is a firefighter himself with a tumor wrapping around his spine. I have a few volunteers to help out with weight in and blast off and others are lending us scales etc. I have a rod reel combo from Hamiltons that will be a door prize/placement gift. We are working with Sportmans warehouse and other places at this time for more prizes. The payout will be a 60/40 payout to first place. We are planning on have a hotdog lunch plate after/during weight-in at $5 a plate that will also go to the fund raiser. So please post on here and tell me you will be there so we can get a count of how many we will have. I will update as we get closer to the date and also repost this message ttt as well. Thanks for all who have volunteered so far and please help. Chadd
