"Fishing for a Cure" tournament July 23
Angling for a great fishing trip? The July 23 charity tournament hosted by Bunky's Charter Boats in Solomons is a sure bet. Proceeds will benefit the planned expansion of the Infusion Therapy Center at Calvert Memorial Hospital. The center cares for patients with cancer and other chronic conditions that require intravenous (IV) medications and treatments.
The $85 fee includes some of the best bottom fishing the area has to offer, refreshments for each participant and a cookout following the event. Bait and tackle are also provided. There will be prizes for the biggest fish and other contests.
Bunky Conner created this event to help others undergoing cancer treatment. And although he died in May, the fishing benefit will continue as a tribute to his generous spirit. "We want to do this for the community and to say 'thank you' for the great care and treatment Bunky received from the staff at the CMH Infusion Center," said Elisa VanDevender.
"Fishing for a Cure" is co-sponsored by Capt. Robbie (Miss Regina), Capt. Gordie (Miss Bobbie), Brian Elder (Teacher's Pet) and Captain Simon and Captain Brian on Bunky's boats. These are experienced captains who know the waters around Solomons Island and the best places for spot, croaker and white perch.
So, if you're looking to snag the "big one" or just want to catch a nice mess of fish for dinner – sign up now for "Fishing for a Cure". Pre-registration is required. Sponsorship packages are also available. For more details, call 410-414-4570.
Other local companies have climbed onboard to support the event, including Home PC Specialists and Professional Services. Additionally, Boomerangs Original Ribs is donating the food.
"Every year, more Southern Maryland residents are choosing Calvert Memorial Hospital for their cancer care," said Barbara Polak, vice president of clinical services at CMH. "The planned expansion will significantly enhance our efforts to provide the highest quality care at the local level."
The six-month project will increase the number of treatment areas in the CMH Infusion Therapy Center from eight to 14 and feature padded, comfortable reclining chairs with side tables. Some of the areas will have curtains for patients who desire privacy. Others will be open for those who want space for family and friends.
The new design incorporates skylights and natural colors to enhance the healing environment. Other elements like the two-toned wooden floors and curving lines add to the soothing and relaxing atmosphere.
