Greetings!

It's time to get hooked on a great cause! Spring is in the air, fish will be biting and that means it's time for the 8th annual Doug Johnson Reeling for Kids Fishing Tournament. Held on June 3-4, 2011 in Steinhatchee, Florida, the event is a collaboration between NFL and Gator football stars, fishing enthusiasts and community leaders in an effort to support the youth programs of the Boys & Girls Club of Alachua County.

Thanks to the generosity of friends like you, we have raised in excess of $400,000 for the Clubs over the past six years and provided once in a life time opportunities for the kids at the tournament to fish and interact with their football heroes. As the popularity of this unique event continues to grow it is our hope to surpass last year's total of over 375 fisherman, 100 boats and 400 additional tournament supporters. To do this, we need your help!

The success of last year's tournament would not have been possible without the support of each of our local and national sponsors. As we begin planning for this year's event, our excitement grows with the enthusiasm our sponsors and community members are already expressing. I believe that with your help, we can exceed last year's goals, raise more money for the Clubs, and help touch even more young lives in the community where we grew up. We also know that without your support, this event simply would not be possible.
