This past year I lost a close friend who was a GREAT angler to a short fight with leukemia. Looking to put on an event this May to help with some of his hospital bills, and donate to a charity that helps with reserch into a cure for this accute type of leukemia... Andy was only 30 years old. I've never done anything like this, so any ideas, contacts, or intrests in helping to plan the event is more than appreciated.

I remember reading about this, but am not sure what city and state y'all are talking about.

Good luck with your tournament. I hope it does very well and you have lots of sponsors and anglers.
Hey Capt., if I were to start a benefit tourney, I'd start with your local CCA (Coastal Conservation Assoc.) and fishing clubs. I'd talk with local tackle shops and figure out a weekend that doesn't have another tourney going on. You'll need advertisement. Check with the free fishing newspapers and magazines from your area. Alot of them will work with you. Putting flyers in the tackle shops will help draw attention to your more than worthy cause, also.
Good luck, and I'm sorry for your loss.
