First Annual Hope Town United Sailfish Tournament

The 1st Annual Hope Town United Sailfish Tournament kicks off on December 10th through December 12th at Sailfish Marina on Singer Island, Fla. to benefit the community members, the recovery, and restoration efforts on Elbow Cay following the devastation of Hurricane Dorian. Funds raised will go directly to rebuilding the Hope Town Primary School, the ground-up build of the Abaco Community Care Center, and the restoration of homes destroyed by Dorian as a part of Hope Town United’s Homes for Hope program.

Since Hurricane Dorian made landfall on September 1st, 2019, Hope Town United has been working tirelessly to provide immediate relief to residents of Elbow Cay.

“We are focused on helping the community get back on its feet while facilitating the construction of more resilient homes, businesses, and public buildings, along with an environmentally sustainable infrastructure. Together, we are revolutionizing the way an island can rebuild in the face of natural disasters. Hope Town United has raised $3.5 million+ with 2,000+ donors, and we hope to continue to raise funds to help Elbow Cay,” said Seneca Moss Reynolds, Hope Town United’s Director of Development.
