Fundraising

Broken Oar Charity Fishing Tournament

Each spring, Project SOS sponsors the Broken Oar Tarpon Invitational, a charity fishing tournament in Key West, Florida. The event is a four-day, guided catch-and-release fly fishing tournament. To participate, each angler must pledge to raise money for Project SOS and Lamellar Ichthyosis research. Through the generous efforts of the participants and their sponsors, the Broken Oar has become the main fundraising event for Project SOS.

This event, now in its sixth year, has been a tremendous success and continues to grow and gain momentum each year.   The goals of the Broken Oar Invitational are ambitious, but with help from participants, their sponsors, volunteers, and donors, Project SOS hopes to be able to continue to raise the funds necessary for  Lamellar Ichthyosis research and treatments this year and for many years to come.

The Broken Oar is limited to 28 anglers who each agree, as a condition of participation, to raise at least $1,000.00 for Project SOS. If you would like to sponsor an angler please click here.

Crawfish in the Park -

Every year the law firm of DeHart Crockett, P.C. hosts its own charity event called Crawfish in the Park for the benefit of Project SOS. Each April, the firm has a huge crawfish boil at Trinity Park with live music, children's activities, and all you can eat crawfish. Current and former clients, local attorneys, judges, and family and friends are all invited to help support Project SOS and ichthyosis research. Attendance and donations have increased annually and we expect the next Crawfish in the Park to be better than ever!
