To Benefit Knights of Columbus Catholic Education Awareness Fund
On behalf of the Knights of Columbus and the Bishop Verot Scholars' Academy, I would like to thank all of our gracious donors and our fantastic fishermen and women that participated for helping the tournament happen. To all of those who were involved in the behind-the-scenes action, I greatly appreciate everything you have done to help move this tournament in the right direction!
Also, congratulations to the first place winners of our tournament, Team Champions (as they called themselves even before the final say), including Captain Chris Johnson, Nick Lesniak, Phillip Shaw, Lyla Lesniak, and Harper Shaw. Congratulations on winning a brand new kayak!
Next year, we hope to host more teams, so we hope to see you on the water!
