Event Spotlight: 2011 Oregon Tuna Classic Tournament Coming to Charleston, Oregon on August 20

Posted by AmyD on August 5, 2011

Teams of volunteer fishermen will come together at the  Oregon Tuna Classic in Charleston, Oregon on Saturday August 20 to “Reel in Hunger”.  The goal is to catch the biggest tuna (in weight) and to benefit the Oregon Food Bank and Ducks Unlimited.

Some of the tuna from the tournament will go directly to the local coastal food bank as fresh caught and delivered to the people of that port community and some will be canned and provided to the Oregon Food Bank to also assist those in need along the Oregon Coast.

The focus of the Oregon Tuna Classic tournaments is to feed those in need, while having a good time and sharing a passion for fishing. The Oregon Tuna Classic is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization made up of 100% volunteers.

From our sponsors who have donated cash and products to our anglers who participate and donate their catch, The Oregon Tuna Classic is making a difference. All who participate, including our board members, volunteer their time and energy allowing all the proceeds to benefit the Oregon Food Bank. This is truly an opportunity for participants and sponsors alike to give back to their community through an activity they love.
