SSI Running of the Bulls Charity Redfish Tournament
to
East Beach at the Old Coast Guard Station First Street, Saint Simons Island, Georgia
Held on East Beach, the SSI Running of the Bulls Charity Redfish Tournament is one of the largest youth and adult surf style redfish tournaments on the East Coast. Adults will compete for cash prizes and kids will win high end fishing gear, trophy, and other sponsor related prizes. Registration is $65 for adults and $35 for kids 15 years of age and younger.
Funds raised by this event help Kids Can Fish provide free fishing camps for youths and underprivileged or disabled children. Tom Lewis explains, “As the tournament is the official end to our fundraising and camp season, this event is extremely important for us. The SSI Running of the Bulls has over 30 sponsors and can help us raise enough revenue to fund our entire year for 2023. Hosting camps can cost close to $2,000 per camp depending on the number of participants we have, so perpetual fundraising is critical.”
If you can’t compete by fishing, you’re still welcome to join the fun and support Kids Can Fish at the tournament’s Kick Off Party with food trucks, beverages, and music at Port City Park on Friday, October 7 from 6:00-10:00 p.m. or the awards banquet at Bennie’s Red Barn on October 9th from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. Both events are open to the public with no tickets or registration required and will feature incredible raffles and auction items and some free giveaways.
