Bay Point Invitational Billfish Tournament

2009 Charity Recipients Named
And it's all about the kids!
March 24, 2009

All profits from the 2009 Bay Point Billfish are being donated to the St. Joe Community Foundation, and we're excited to announce that the distribution of these funds will all go to local children’s organizations:
• Boys and Girls Club of Bay County
• Gulf Coast Children’s Advocacy Center
• Anchorage Children’s Home

“We are absolutely thrilled about the Invitational’s partnership with the St. Joe Foundation,” says Tournament Director Scott Burt. “We have the opportunity to take the success of our tournament and use it to support an organization that has a proven record in helping so many people and organizations in Northwest Florida.”

The St. Joe Community Foundation serves Florida’s Bay, Franklin, Gulf and Walton counties. Since its start in 1999, the non-profit Foundation has given more than $14

million in grants and pledges back to these Northwest Florida communities with a focus on improving quality of life by supporting education, healthcare, conservation and cultural projects.

In Bay County alone, the Foundation has sponsored the Aquatics Center, teaching and learning grants, literacy programs, scholarship funds, transportation for disabled adults, Special Olympics athletes, children’s home renovations, arts and nature programs, and most recently the Audubon of Florida’s conservation efforts near St. Andrews Bay.
