Keymorada Invitational Fishing Tournament Exceeded Fundraising Goals
Since inception, annual fundraiser has collected more than $3.5 million for Crohn's and Colitis; Hits record as most successful fundraising fishing tourney to date.
- Miami, FL (1888PressRelease) May 22, 2013 - The Keymorada Invitational Fishing Tournament to benefit the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) was held at the Cheeca Lodge Resort & Spa in Islamorada, Fla. To date, the fundraiser has secured roughly 200 sponsors and raised over $470,000.
Since its inception nine years ago, the Keymorada Tournament has raised over $3.5 million for the organization and has grown into one of the most successful fundraising fishing tournaments in the country.
Proceeds from this year's event will be donated to the CCFA, as well as the University of Miami's Elaine & Sydney Sussman Crohn's and Colitis Clinic. The Clinic, the first of its kind in South Florida, had its grand opening on April 30, 2013 and was funded with the assistance of the Tournament.
The Keymorada Tournament was founded by Bilzin Sumberg partner Mitchell Widom, along with his wife Alicia and brother Glenn, following his daughter's Crohn's disease diagnosis. According to Mitchell, what has made this tournament so unique in its success has been the generous outpour it receives yearly from the legal community. Each year roughly 200-300 firms from across the country participate in the tournament.
"The amount of support we have been able to garner from the legal profession has been simply incredible," said Mitchell Widom, co-founder of the Keymorada Invitational Fishing Tournament and Partner at Bilzin Sumberg Baena Price & Axelrod LLP. "These law firms, which typically go head to head in the courtroom, have found common ground in the fight to find a cure for these terrible diseases that often afflict children."
