Tournament for a CURE June 2, 2009

Celebrating our third year, we are hoping to continue to expand our fishing tournament to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, our official charity. We have a special arrangement with this charity allowing us to use 100% of all our proceeds going directly to individual researchers dedicated to finding a cure. UFCW (United Food & Commercial Workers) Local 1546 raises on average $100,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society annually, and we work closely with the Illinois Chapter to provide service and support for any of our members and the general public. This fishing tournament is just one of the many fundraising events we conduct for this worthy cause.



Make plans to join us for a fun day of fishing and friendship on Tuesday, June 2, 2009 at the Thirsty Turtle on Channel Lake. Registration opens at 5:30 AM and the tournament begins at 6:30 AM and ends at 12:30 PM. We’ll be catching and releasing Large & Small Mouth Bass, Walleye & Muskie with award prizes to the top fishermen teams. Plus we will have a raffle and silent auction during the lunch program to raise even more funds to benefit blood cancer research. The cost is $55.00 per person or $110 per team (2 person team per boat). The cost includes your launch fee and lunch.



This event is open to both our members and anyone interested in supporting this charity.



In addition, if you would like to donate a prize for our raffle drawing, we will be happy to promote your name or business in our program. The Local 1546 UFCW Leukemia Fund, Inc. is a non-profit organization, which is exempt from Federal Income Tax under section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code.
