Funds raised through the inaugural Full Send Fishing Tournament will directly support causes that reflect Jason’s passions, values, and legacy.
A portion of the proceeds will establish college funds for Jason’s three daughters, helping provide educational opportunities and long term support for the girls who were the center of his world.
Additional funds will support the Full Send Reef Habitat initiative, an organization focused on creating artificial reef systems using recycled, non hazardous materials such as concrete and steel. These reef habitats help restore marine ecosystems, provide shelter for aquatic life, and contribute to the long term health and restocking of the Gulf of Mexico.
The tournament will also dedicate support toward suicide prevention efforts, helping raise awareness and provide resources for individuals and families facing mental health challenges.
As the tournament grows in future years, the Full Send Tournament committee will work together to determine additional charitable initiatives and community impact opportunities.
The Center of Anna Maria Island will serve as the official nonprofit host for the tournament, collecting and distributing all funds to ensure they directly support the designated causes and initiatives connected to Jason’s legacy. The Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community organization that has served Anna Maria Island and surrounding communities for generations.
