What an incredible day at the 2nd Annual Kicking Cancer’s Bass event at Blythe Landing!
Even though boat numbers were lower this year, we made up for it with laughs, smiles, and unforgettable memories. Thanks to the amazing Lake Norman community and our volunteer boaters, every Cool Kids family that attended got to enjoy time out on the water fishing — and one of our Cool Kids even weighed in two bass during the tournament!
A huge thank you to our sponsors, supporters, and volunteers who helped make this event possible. Because of Foothills Marine and all of our anglers, we had 148 fish weighed in for the “Reeling in Hope” campaign!
Special thanks to:
* Hooksetters Fishing Club for hosting the weigh-in
* TriMaxx Graphics LLC for the amazing shirts
* Lid Licking Sauce and Jake Stewart for the delicious BBQ
* Sandy Birmingham and her family for providing breakfast
And thank you to all of our Gold, Silver, and Bronze sponsors:
Fish Lake Norman Giving With Grace Foundation WeighBook United Community Bank Visit Lake Norman — plus our vendors, volunteers, and everyone who donated raffle items, bought raffle tickets and supported the event in any way.
Most importantly, thank you to everyone who came out to support our incredible Cool Kids and their families. The funds raised will help us continue creating unforgettable outdoor experiences for local childhood cancer patients, survivors, and their families. We already can’t wait for next year!
