The Wolfson Children’s Hospital Bass Tournament week kicked off with both the Friends of Wolfson and Lads & Lasses tournament on Friday. Saturday is when all the real fun begins with the 37th Annual Wolfson Children’s Hospital Bass Tournament.
Since 1989, the Tournament has helped Wolfson Children’s Hospital fund specialized treatments, lifesaving technology, and capital improvements. The Plant Facilities Department at Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville organized and launched the tournament as a vehicle to fund capital improvements and acquisition of advanced technology. From its inception, the Tournament has raised more than $6 million for Wolfson Children’s.
This year’s event is focused on funding life-saving equipment and technology in the C. Herman and Mary Virginia Terry Heart Institute at Wolfson Children’s Hospital.
Baptist Health will match a portion of all gifts to the Wolfson Children’s Hospital Bass Tournament for the Wolfson Bass Tournament Endowment Fund.
This year’s goal is to raise $500,000.00. One of the ways you can help is by purchasing tickets for a chance to win a new Bullet 21SDC powered by a Mercury 250 Pro XS. Tickets are $20.00 a piece and can be purchased online here.
