Jersey Cape Hook, Line, and Heroes
Cape May Inlet - Cape May, NJ
I want to inform everyone that I am running my second annual Jersey Cape Hook, Line, and Heroes Event. Last year I had 4 boats and I believe 16 Veterans out fishing. So far this year I have 32 boats signed up to participate and we will have over 100 Veterans out on the water fishing. I have some fantastic helpers too. Howie Prickett has been invaluable, Paul Hewitt of American Warrior Outdoors has been solid, and so many others. Friends and businesses are coming out to support the event too. We have received several incredible donations, and hope to receive more. We are trying to fund the entire event; purchasing all bait and tackle, t-shirts and hats for our Veteran participants, and a food truck for the after party being held at Mooncussers. Special THANKS to Andy, Jerry, RRR Construction, J Byrne, Lower Twp Moose, and others for the generous donations. We are currently running a 50-50 raffle that will be drawn on May 19th at Jim's Bait and Tackle in Cape May at the Drum Tourney weigh ins. Tickets are $5 each and all proceeds will be split between the event and the winning ticket holder. On March 9th, Surrans Nursery in Corbin City will be holding a Chili Contest. I am entering a batch. All donations for the event will be given, extremely generously by Surran's, to the Jersey Cape Hook, Line, and Heroes event. On June 7th, from 5 to 8pm, we will be holding a fund raising Barbeque at the Petrella-Repici-Caprioni-Champion VFW Post 6257 located at 556 Woodbine Ave, Woodbine, NJ 08270. Tickets for the event are $15 at the door. There will also be a Chinese Basket Auction with lots of good stuff. Live band and good food. Please come out and support a great cause! And finally, the actual fishing event will be held on August 8th from 8am to 2pm. And then the after party from 4pm until? We are in the process of setting up a rain date in case the 8th doesn't work out. So, that's it. This is the big event. I am hoping to make this an annual event. Please consider helping us out in any way you can. All donations are greatly appreciated. An thoughts or suggestions too. Help us to give back to those who have given so very much already. Thank you all!
