The special event supports local Houston and Galveston Shriners hospitals.
This year, the tournament is also incorporating a food drive to benefit the Matagorda area. Participants are asked to bring canned food items to donate.
The annual Shrine Sportsman Fishing Tournament is an event put on by the Houston/Galveston branch of the Shriners, whose primary purpose is to support the 22 hospitals that make up the Shriners Hospitals International. The hospitals provide free expert medical care to children from all over the world.
The Shriners hospital in Galveston caters to children with burns while the hospital in Houston caters to patients with orthopaedic and neuromusculoskeletal disorders and diseases, as well as cleft lip and palate abnormalities.
