Redfish Tournament : Drew Pearson Memorial Fund

Posted under fly fishing news by Dave Teper

Drew Pearson was a faculty member at Florida Gulf Coast University, a general manager at Bobcat Trail Golf Club, a new father, and most of all an upstanding member of the community. He passed away on December 29, 2008 on his way into work from the hospital, where his wife had just given birth the night before to their daughter. He was involved in a terrible car accident which involved a semi truck and took his life. The Drew Pearson Memorial Fund was setup to help his Wife and his new daughter. We held a group meeting a came up with the idea to hold a redfish tournament. We decided that this would be a fun and exciting way to get the community involved. Also, the fact that it is all for a worthy cause.
The captain’s meeting will be held at FGCU’s student union on Friday April 3rd at 7pm.  The entry fee per team is a $50 donation.  Prizes and Rules will be discussed at the meeting.
