After seven incredible years of supporting Operation ReBoot Outdoors (ORO), the World Championship Holy Mackerel Tournament has made the collective decision to dedicate 100% of this year’s proceeds to the Waldo County Firefighters Association Robbins Lumber Relief Fund, helping local firefighters and their families in need.

ORO has been nothing but supportive of this decision and remains committed, as always, to improving the lives of veterans and retired law enforcement through outdoor therapy. We are incredibly grateful for their continued partnership and generosity.

We’re now seeking sponsors and raffle donations! To be included on this year’s tournament T-shirt, please submit your sponsorship by July 24. We’ll continue accepting donations as long as possible before shirts go to print.

Thank you for helping us make a difference in our community. ❤️🎣🚒
