The CCLEFT is an IRS recognized 501 c (3) organization. The tournament has two main goals: an entertaining weekend for Public Safety personnel and their supporters, and fundraising for local non-profits with an emphasis on crime reduction and youth. Last year, CCLEFT gave over $17,000 to local charities including , The Fraternal Order of Police “Shop with a Cop” program, The Corpus Christi Police Officers Association “St. Michaels Fund”, and The Corpus Christi Police Law Enforcement Fishing Tournament Scholarship Fund. 

 

The adult tournament traditionally kicks off with a meet and greet social event that in 2009 attracted 353 anglers and their guests (estimated 600+ in attendance) from across the state, making it an ideal venue for vendors to showcase their companies and products while showing support for area law enforcement. The meet and greet features a meal, door prizes, and a silent auction. On tournament day, after fishing, the anglers and their guests meet for an awards ceremony, dinner, and door prizes.
