Venice Tuna trip for $20...

JahMussa · 01-23-2007, 07:59 AM

go here for more info... New Page 2

There will be a page soon where you can purchase your chance(s) to win and 100% of the money collected will go to Kyle. Darryl Couvillion is one of the Captains working with Scott Avanzino at Paradise Outfitters. If you feel that you can get away to fish Venice or would just like to make a donation, please check out this cause.

Fishing To Hear Foundation Rodeo...

This Fishing Rodeo is the product of a few great, fellow charter boat captains offering to help to raise funds for Captain Darryl Couvillion’s deaf son Kyle, who is needing a second cochlear implant. The costly surgery (~$80,000) is not covered by insurance and will consequently leave a significant cost to be covered out of pocket by the family. This surgery will give Kyle a chance to learn to listen, speak and go to school with normal hearing children.

In the begining...two friends and fellow charter boat skippers offered to donate their trips in an effort to fundraise for Kyle’s surgery. Within a few days, a total of 20 Venice charter boat captains from a variety of charter boat companies have offered to donate each a charter trip for fundraising efforts. The amount of support has been a wonderful blessing and thus, a fishing rodeo amongst the finest Venice boat charter captains has been born

We will be offering chances to win offshore fishing trips for 4 with every raffle ticket purchase of $20.00. In total, twenty charter trips will be given away. This is the first tournament of its kind in this area and its is a great opportunity to fish with some of Southern Louisiana's finest captains in one of the country's best fisheries.

We would like to extend very deep heartfelt thanks from the Couvillion Family to the following Venice charter boat captains for their time and donation:

Here's some of the Captains that donated trips...

Capt. Rimmer Covington
Capt. Devlin Roussel
Capt. Kevin Beach
Capt. Damon McKnight
Capt. Billy Wells
Capt. Brett Falterman

Hello guys any one reading this thread?If you get some tickets post up show your support on this one.Remember there but for the grace of god go I.

Wouldn't it be cool if we had a mass of members from this site to sign up. Odds would be that someone should bring home a winning ticket. That winner could take highest bids on the other 3 slots for trip and donate the $$$ back to the cause. Show up in some new SFC T-shirts and tighten up on a few fatties (fish that is

) and show em' how we do it in Fla.

I'm in for 5 tickets. Nothin' better than helping out a child in need.
