29th Annual Fishing Tournament and Family Fun Day

The All-Volunteer Southern Ocean County Chapter is hosting its 29th Annual Fishing Tournament and Family Fun Day at the American Legion #493 in Little Egg Harbor Twp. Boaters will fish for fluke or bluefish in the morning, then join families for BBQ, music, and fun at the American Legion.

The Fishing Tournament is raising funds to make Ace’s dream come true. Ace is diagnosed with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (a rare and severe form epilepsy), Agenesis of the corpus callosum (the structure connecting the brain’s left and right hemispheres is partially or completely absent), and neuro disability. Ace loves water, and it provides a great therapy. Ace dreams of an above-ground swimming pool for play and therapy.
