Some people walk miles to raise money, others stay up for 24 hours, others dance for hours on end – we want to fish for a cure!
The Jim MacDonald Sr. Catfish Tournament was started after cancer took the life of our grandfather, an avid fisherman. The tournament is in its twenty fourth year and has grown larger each year. Fishing is an All-American past time and we believe that this day can be much more meaningful than just another day on the river. The participants are fishing for the chance that their funds could contribute to a cure. For non-fishers we have a party with live music in which all ticket proceeds go to the American Cancer Society.
The tournament has been graciously hosted by the National Park Boat Club since it's inception and the 2018 tournament will be held there. The National Park Boat Club is located on the Delaware River in historic National Park, New Jersey.
We have created this site to help you learn more about the tournament. Please take a look around and info more information on this years tournament, the history, and much much more.
We know you might not be able to fish in our tournament but we would love for you to be apart of our tournament. If you would like to help out in any capacity or just want some more information please head to our Contact page
Jim MacDonald Sr. did not have much but he always knew the importance of giving back. That is the sprit we are trying to create in our community and we hope you will join us!
