Five “Bounty Booty Winners” will receive $400 each. The mandatory Captains’ Meeting will be held Friday, May 23, from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Marina’s bleachers.
All the proceeds of this popular tournament benefit local projects for the prevention of child abuse in the local community, according to John Binkley, tournament chair.
