Registration for the tournament, taking place December 10th through December 12 at Sailfish Marina on Singer Island, Fla., is now open.

Singer Island, Fla.—The 1st Annual Hope Town United Sailfish Tournament kicks off on December 10 through December 12 at Sailfish Marina on Singer Island, Fla. to benefit the community members and the recovery and restoration efforts on Elbow Cay following the devastation of Hurricane Dorian. Funds raised will go directly to rebuilding the Hope Town Primary School, the ground-up build of the Abaco Community Care Center, and the restoration of the homes destroyed by Dorian as a part of Hope Town United’s Homes for Hope program. 

Since Hurricane Dorian made landfall on September 1st, 2019, Hope Town United has been working tirelessly to provide immediate relief to the residents of Elbow Cay. 

“We are focused on helping the community get back on its feet as quickly as possible while facilitating the construction of more resilient homes, businesses, and public buildings, along with an environmentally sustainable infrastructure. Together, we are revolutionizing the way an island can rebuild in the face of natural disasters. Hope Town United has raised over $3.5 million with 2,000+ donors, and we hope to continue to raise funds to help our friends on Elbow Cay,” said Seneca Moss Reynolds, Hope Town United’s Director of Development.
