NEFAR charity bass tournament gears up for it's next event to benefit Haven Hospice.

For the ninth consecutive year, the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR) will raise funds for the Haven Hospice Roberts Care Center in Palatka through a catch-and-release Charity Bass Fishing Tournament on Saturday, April 28. NEFAR donates one hundred percent of all proceeds raised to Haven Hospice.

Two-person fishing teams leave the Palatka City Dock at safe light, and weigh-in is scheduled for 3 p.m. Teams compete for prizes, including a $2,500 guaranteed payback for first place and a $1,000 guaranteed payback for the big fish of the Tournament. There is also an 80 percent payback to one in every seven boats. There will be an additional $250 cash drawing for boaters who are present immediately follows the tournament.

Tournament registration, as well as event sponsorship opportunities and complete event details, will be available soon at www.NEFARBass.org or by contacting Nancie Zimmerman at 386.325.2965 or Glenn East at 904.394.9132.
