Charity Tournament Benefits Hospital

Thursday, April 10, 2014

Bass fishing continues for a cause Monday when the annual Will Fish for Kids Charity Bass Tournament is held on Beaver Lake out of Prairie Creek park. The tournament is held in conjunction with the Walmart FLW Tour event.

The tournament benefits Arkansas Children's Hospital. Entry fee is $1,000 per boat and comes with several amenities, including a day of fishing.

Entry includes a dinner and silent auction at 5:45 p.m. on Sunday at Embassy Suites in Rogers. On Monday, entrants have the option of fishing with a Walmart FLW Tour pro. Breakfast and a box lunch are provided on Monday. A lakeside cookout will be held at 3 p.m. Anglers receive a gift bag filled with donated items and a commemorative hat.

Anglers don't need a boat to enter. A Walmart FLW Tour pro will provide a boat and fish as a member of your company's team. Companies that participate will be recognized with signage at the tournament.

Organizers are seeking donations for gift bags and the silent auction. Last year's tournament raised $47,000 for the dental clinic at Arkansas Children's Hospital.
