The Miami Heat Dancers and mascot Burnie — along with a wide variety of highly sought after silent auction items — will highlight the Kiwanis Club of Homestead-South Dade’s 39th annual Dolphin Days Family Fishing Tournament, one of South Florida’s oldest family-fun fishing competitions, June 8-10.
Benefitting the Homestead Kiwanis Foundation — one of South Florida’s most active community service organizations — 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 8 at 6 p.m. with the kickoff 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 10, with weigh-in, dock party and awards at Homestead Bayfront Park, 9698 SW 328 St.
“We are excited about the appearance of Burnie and the Heat Dancers,” said Homestead Councilmember Erica G. Ávila, former Kiwanis Club president, and tournament co-chair.
“This is not only a first for our event but adds to the credibility of the fishing tournament and serves as recognition of our ongoing efforts to improve the lives of children in our community.”
In addition to Burnie and the Heat Dancers, a wide variety of highly sought-after prizes will be available in the silent auction part of the event. These include:
• Two autographed Miami Dolphins football helmets, including one signed by Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Estimated value of the Tua helmet, $500.
• An Interval International “Dream Week” at any of more than 3,000 resorts in Interval’s exchange network in 90 countries around the world. Estimated value, $1,800.
