Fish for a Cure Tournament 2012
Held Nov. 3 at the Annapolis City Dock and Downtown Annapolis Marriott, the 2012 Fish for a Cure Tournament attracted 44 boats, 160 anglers, and 500 total participants. Many teams exceeded the goal of raising $3,000 per boat, including Sharon Boland’s Club 411/Leave it to Weaver, which raised more than $16,000 to win the tournament’s “Captain’s Challenge” fundraising competition.
“Since its inception, the Fish for a Cure Tournament has continued to grow each and every year, encouraging the community to take a stand against cancer while enjoying a day on the Chesapeake Bay,” said Greg Lilly, chairman of Fish for a Cure’s board of directors. “This year, we exceeded our fundraising goal, thanks to our dedicated members, sponsors, volunteers and donors that make the event a success.”
In 2011, Fish for a Cure made a $1 million pledge to the Breast Center in the JoAnn DeCesaris Cancer Institute at the Anne Arundel Medical Center.

About Fish for a Cure
The AKI Foundation’s Fish for the Cure Tournament began as a recreational competition fueled by a group of friends’ love for fishing and the Chesapeake Bay. When a board member was touched by cancer, the tournament became an annual event to raise money for charitable interests focused on cancer research, treatment and care. Today, proceeds from the Fish for a Cure Tournament benefit the Geaton and JoAnn DeCesaris Cancer Institute at the Anne Arundel Medical Center.
