Lee County 4-H Foundation gearing up for 2026 Fishing Tournament Fundraiser
The Lee County 4-H Foundation is gearing up for one of its most popular community events of the year — the annual Family Fishing Tournament Fundraiser on May 2, at Mike Greenwell Regional Park.
Anglers of all ages and skill levels are invited to compete in this family-friendly tournament, with all proceeds supporting scholarships for local youth and funding 4-H programs throughout Lee County. You do not need to be a 4-H member to participate — just bring your gear and get ready to fish.
Each registered angler receives a tournament dri-fit t-shirt, a tournament bucket with score sheet, and a meal ticket for the post-event dinner.
