The Champaign County Bassmasters, Illini Shriner Club, and the Childrens Hospital in St. Louis need your help. In order to raise more money for the hospital we are holding a bass tournament on Springfield Lake in September. We have held three such tournaments over the last three years at Clinton Lake and were able to raise a small amount of money and donated it to the hospital, $1700.00. Thinking if we "opened" it up to everyone in the state we might be able to give more.
You can help two ways; Fish it or place an ad in our booklet we will hand to all competitors.
Fishing it will cost a team $150.00 with $40 of that going to the hospital and $10 to big bass and the rest to the top finishers.
An ad will cost you $25, $50 or $100 dollars for a 1/4, 1/2, and full page ad. Will this get you more business? Will it be a donation? Ether one is good!
We have a "host" hotel Route 66 in Springfield that will offer good rates and we will have a meeting there Saturday Eve to discuss rules, safety and have a raffle.
Thank you for your help and interest,
Gary Montgomery, President Champaign County Bassmasters
