What a beautiful day we had at the 5th Annual Kidz Outdoors Benefit Bass Fishing Tournament! The weather was gorgeous, the fellowship was wonderful, and most importantly, we came together for a cause that is so very special to our hearts. God is so good!
Although we didn’t have as many boats as we would have loved to have this year, we are so incredibly thankful for every fisherman who showed up and supported Kidz Outdoors.
A HUGE thank you to our incredible sponsors who helped make today possible:
🎣 KultureCity
🎣 Prattville Baptist Hospital
🎣 D2 Dirtwork
🎣 Pierce Roofing
🎣 Coosa Xtreme Outdoors
🎣 Guardian Credit Union
🎣 Engineered Cooling Services (ECS)
🎣 The Renfroes
🎣 Friends of Copeland Spires
And to our AMAZING team of volunteers—THANK YOU! You showed up early, worked hard, jumped in wherever you were needed, and helped everything run so smoothly. We simply could not do this without you!
Our Big Fish Award was presented in memory of TJ Esco. a remarkable young man who courageously battled leukemia for many years. TJ faced more than any young person should ever have to face, yet his life and his story continue to touch so many.
While TJ’s parents were unable to be with us today, we were honored to pause and remember him. TJ’s life mattered, his story matters, and his memory continues to make a difference. It was truly an honor for our Big Fish Award to carry his name today. 🎣
At the end of the day, this tournament is about so much more than fishing. It is about helping Kidz Outdoors provide outdoor experiences for children and young adults with special needs and medical fragility. It is about giving families opportunities to make memories, experience joy, and simply enjoy being together.
To every sponsor, fisherman, volunteer, donor, friend, and supporter who had a hand in today—THANK YOU for helping us make a difference!
Five years and counting! We are already looking forward to the next one! 💙🎣
