Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s fishing tournament will be held virtually. Participants will register online, download an app, and log their catches. The tournament is open to anyone fishing in public waters between Sandy Hook and Cape May, NJ.  All proceeds will benefit the Sunshine Foundation’s mission to answer the dreams of children with life-long chronic illnesses and conditions, physical challenges and those who have been abused.

The tournament was founded in 1997 by volunteers from the All-Volunteer Southern Ocean NJ Chapter of the Sunshine Foundation. In its 22-year existence, the tournament alone has generated over $300,000 and dozens of children and their families have been sent to Disney World, SeaWorld, Universal Studios, LEGOLAND Florida and the Sunshine Foundation Dream Village in Central Florida over the years.

Sunshine Foundation answers the dreams of children, ages three through eighteen, who have severe or profound physical/developmental/intellectual challenges or trauma from physical/sexual abuse, and whose families cannot fulfill their requests due to financial strain that the child’s illness may cause. Since 1976, the Sunshine Foundation has answered more than 41,000 dreams with the help of All-Volunteer Chapters.
