Any donation of $30 or more got you included in the giveaway for a chance to win spots onboard the fluke trips. I just checked our donation total and we are at $5,170 which has exceeded our goal of $5K. Thank you so much to everyone who donated. Awesome job! 🙌🏻
Today I’m happy to share our 2nd annual Boston Children’s Hospital fundraiser started by longtime My Fishing Cape Cod member Bruno Demir. Last year we raised over $2,000 and this year our goal is to hit $5,000.
As a bonus, Bruno is going to draw one name out of the donors to go on a fluke fishing trip aboard his 26’ downeast boat the Gaviota! Any donation amount of $30 or more will get you included in the drawing for the fluke trip.
Here is why Bruno decided to start this fundraiser…
Having 3 kids I visit this great hospital whenever my kids are ill. We are fortunate to always walk out the same day, but some families are not that lucky. This donation will go towards their pediatric cancer division research and under privileged families. And the hospital doesn't just stop there. Boston Children's truly understands the importance of training the next generation of top pediatricians and nurses, so they can continue to provide the best, most innovative care possible to kids.
Other reasons why Bruno is so passionate about this cause include...
I will also be attending the fluke trip and I plan on doing some filming and making a video from the day. Footage from this trip could end up being included in season 6 of My Fishing Cape Cod TV on NBC Sports Boston.
Last year My Fishing Cape Cod member Leo Schmidt donated to our Boston Children's fundraiser and he ended up winning the spot onboard Bruno's monster fluke trip!
Then Bruno's cousin Eddy Kooyomjian (also a member of MFCC) surprised us by picking another winner, Rich Chouinard, to go fluke fishing on his boat! Having two boats involved to bring two winners out fluke fishing made for a very memorable day on the water.
The fishing was very productive to say the least. We all caught a bunch of doormat fluke and we even pulled in a few bluefish and other surprise species. I captured a ton of footage and was able to create a TV show episode from the day. You can watch the episode and get an idea of what to expect on this trip by clicking play below.
Thank you in advance to anyone who decides to donate to this cause. I will kick things off by making a $200 donation on behalf of My Fishing Cape Cod.
Thank you all!
