We are excited to announce the return of our signature fundraising event, the 12th Annual Orange and Blue Tarpon Fishing Tournament at the Madeira Beach Marina. All proceeds from the tournament go directly to our Emerson Scholarship Fund to benefit incoming Gator freshmen from Pinellas County. We are now accepting sponsors for 2026!
