Lionfish Bash is this weekend
The Woody Foundation’s 5th Annual Lionfish Bash is this weekend, on July 24 and 25. A lifelong fisherman and diver, the Foundation’s namesake, James “Woody” Beckham, suffered his spinal cord injury making a rugby tackle in January 2011 that rendered him a quadriplegic. Since then The Woody Foundation has raised more than $500,000 to help improve the lives of those with paralysis.
The bash is at 2540 S. Bayshore Drive, the Lion Fish is an invasive species.
Cost to join is $500 per boat, which includes five ranglers. This includes the awards dinner, t-shirts, raffle tickets, goodie bags and more. For the award dinner only, it's $75 per ticket.
Based in Miami, The Woody Foundation supports locally and internationally:
• Proceeds from the Lionfish Bash will go to Miami’s Jackson Rehabilitation Memorial Hospital a leader in spinal cord injury rehabilitation, and where Woody spent his first months recovering from his injury
• They also raise funds so that they can continue to distribute Woody Packs around the world for free, the Woody Pack is a collective of assistive devices that helps people with limited hand functioning live a more independent life
Help surpass last year’s total donation of $25,000, help support those with paralysis.
Please call or email The Woody Foundation’s executive director, Lucy Foerster at 305-586-3107 or lucy@woodyfoundation.org to get started.

It's interesting how folks get involved in trying to get money, only after, they experience a life altering experience. Why not before? And yes, I would appreciate an intelligent response to my question. Jobie Steppe
