Boca Grande Classic

The Southeast Florida Office of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is thrilled to bring back the Boca Grande Classic Fishing Tournament in October 28-30, 2024. Anglers and their guests - led by our celebrity host, Ed Marinaro - will enjoy two days of incredible fishing along the Charlotte Harbour for redfish, snook, tarpon and trout guided by local professional captains.

We are extremely grateful to The Gasparilla Inn & Club for once again hosting the event and returning as our Premier Host Sponsor. The event features a welcome reception, dinner party, daily happy hours, a cocktail reception, and much more - all of which offer wonderful networking and socializing opportunities. Guests will also be able to arrange some fun on-and offsite activities such as spa packages, rounds of golf on the beautiful waterfront course, and a lunch cruise to Cabbage Key (not included in ticket/sponsorship packages).

Since its inception in 2007, the Boca Grande Classic Fishing Tournament has netted nearly $2.67 million. These funds have helped improve the lives of everyone with CF, providing critical care, developing new therapies, and raising life-expectancy from age 36 the first year to more than 56 years of age today. But we are not yet where we need to be!

Please join us for this year's fishing tournament as we aim to net $275,000 to support the CF Foundation's mission to find a cure for everyone with CF. There is something for everyone, and we promise you don't want to miss this spectaular event!
