The Homosassa Game and Fish Club presented a check for $3,292 to the CF Foundation to increase student scholarships. The club partnered with the CF Foundation in 2005 to establish an endowed scholarship for CF students from Homosassa and Citrus County.
The funds presented this year came from the 33rd annual Cobia “Big Fish” tournament held in June 2017. This annual event attracts more than 600 anglers and is considered one of the largest fishing tournaments on the Nature Coast.
“We are grateful for the scholarship support we receive annually as a result of the Cobia Big Fish tournament,” said Dr. Vernon Lawter, CF vice president of regional campuses. “The generosity of donors like the Homosassa Game and Fish Club help many students fulfill their dreams of receiving a degree in higher education.”
The annual tournament is organized by a group of dedicated volunteers who not only wish to provide the Nature Coast with an exciting fishing tournament, but also want to raise funds to assist with various community needs and help local nonprofit organizations.
