On September 7, 2024, the Reelin' 4 a Cause Charity Fishing Tournament will return to Southern Maryland, uniting anglers in support of CalvertHealth's Cancer Center. This event, set against the backdrop of the Chesapeake Bay, not only promises competitive fishing but also a vibrant shore party at Spring Cove Marina in Solomons, complete with music, food, and festivities.
The day begins with teams casting off at dawn, their sights set on both the thrill of the catch and the mission to advance cancer care. Darren Rickwood, Chair of the Reelin' 4 a Cause Committee, emphasized the community's vital role, stating, "It has been an honor to be a part of this amazing event that continues to grow year after year. It is because of the dedication and generosity of local community members that we can kick off events like this fishing tournament."
In addition to the fishing action, the event features the Captain's Challenge, where teams vie to raise the most funds, earning the honor of having their names displayed on a plaque at the CalvertHealth Medical Center. This spirited competition underscores the community's commitment to supporting cancer care.
Proceeds from the tournament directly benefit CalvertHealth's oncology navigation program. This crucial service helps patients and their families manage the complexities of cancer treatment, providing guidance and support through partnerships with top institutions like Duke Health. The oncology navigators play a pivotal role in enhancing patient care and improving quality of life for those affected by cancer in the community.
The tournament's success is bolstered by generous sponsors, including Bayside Auto Group, Servpro of St. Mary's and Calvert, and many others who contribute to the cause. Their support ensures that the event not only celebrates the spirit of fishing but also fosters substantial aid for cancer care advancements.
For those interested in participating, there is still time to register a team and join in this meaningful event. Whether as a seasoned angler or a community member eager to support a worthy cause, the Reelin' 4 a Cause Charity Fishing Tournament offers an enriching experience for all attendees.
