The 2012 Fishing for a Cure bass tournament is sold out.
Proceeds from this year’s tournament will benefit four local food pantries within a 10-mile radius of the Braidwood Generating Station. They are Community Care Center (Braidwood), Kuzma Care Cottage (Wilmington, Ill.), Church of Hope Food Pantry (Gardner, Ill.) and Coal City Food Pantry (Coal City, Ill.)
The 2011 “Fishing for a Cure” tournament sold out (100 boats) for the second consecutive year and raised a record $41,000 for the Wounded Heroes Foundation. Since 2002, the event has raised more than $200,000.
“Fishing for a Cure is our facility’s signature event, one that demonstrates our commitment to the communities we serve,” said Braidwood Site Vice President Dan Enright. “We’re proud of our residents’ spirit of giving and their willingness to pitch in and help. As an organization dedicated to being good corporate citizens by providing safe, reliable, environmentally friendly electricity, we’re proud to sponsor this fun-filled day that will help so many in the community.”
