The Kiwanis Club of Homestead-South Dade’s 40th annual Dolphin Days Family Fishing Tournament, one of South Florida’s oldest family-fun fishing competitions, is scheduled for June 5-7 and will feature thousands of dollars in prize money.
Benefitting the Homestead Kiwanis Foundation, the tournament is co-sponsored by the Military Affairs Council and funds raised will benefit the children of the Homestead-South Dade community, local charities, military families and community service projects.
The tournament begins June 5 at 6 p.m. with the kick-off party/captain’s meeting/raffle/silent auction at the Champions Club at the Homestead-Miami Speedway, One Ralph Sanchez Speedway Blvd. Fishing Day is June 7, with weigh-in, dock party and awards at Homestead Bayfront Park, 9698 SW 328 St.
“We expect a tremendous turnout because family and fishing are cornerstones of our community and our supporters know it is all for a good cause,” said tournament co-chair Erica G. Ávila, a Homestead Council member and former Kiwanis Club president. “This will be a great, fun event that raises funds for Kiwanis — one of South Florida’s most active community service organizations — and honors our military by allowing kids and active/reserve military to fish for free. With prices rising — including the cost of fuel — we thought additional prizes was an excellent way to show the fishing community in South Florida how much we appreciate their support.”
Early bird tournament entry fees before June 1 are $350 for up to four anglers, with each additional angler costing $100. After June 1 and up to 8 p.m. the night of the Captain’s Party entry fees are $450 a boat and $125 for additional anglers. In keeping with the tradition of the event, kids and active/reserve military fish for free.
In addition to boat entries, a variety of sponsorships are still available.
