Don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity to support a great local cause while also spending time on the water! This is the 4th Fishing for Hospice fishing tournament put on by Centra Hospice. This is a "Catch, Photo, Release" style tournament, meaning that once a fish is caught, take a photo of you measuring it (showing an accurate measurement of the fish in your photo), and text (434-665-6293) or email ([email protected]) it to our tournament. The winning fish will be based on their length. For $25 or less, you can participate in this tournament. Also, your parking pass to Smith Mountain Lake State Park, on the days of the tournament, will be free if you mention that you are visiting because of the tournament.
Support the Bedford Hospice House
All proceeds of this tournament will benefit the Centra Hospice House in Bedford. The house was built by the community of Bedford and is operated by Centra Hospice. The house provides end-of-life care to those who do not have the means to receive proper care at home. No one is denied admission to the house due to inability to pay, and because of this, most of the care is funded by charity.
