ABOUT US
Born out of a love for fishing, the courage to fight and an understanding of the powerful nature of women working together, Bluewater
Babes Fish for a Cure was founded in 2009 as Palm Beach County’s
first all-female fishing tournament dedicated to raising money for local
breast and ovarian cancer patients in financial need.
Since then, more than 450 boats and 2,000 female anglers have
joined together to celebrate loved ones, often themselves, who have
bravely fought and won the battle against these diseases and to
remember and honor those whom they lost.
So much more than fishing, Bluewater Babes has grown steadily year
after year and in 2013 tournament organizers decided to convert the
event into a much greater entity - its own non-profit organization Bluewater Babes Charitable Trust.
Bluewater Babes proudly supports and has donated more than
$265,000 to these long-standing local charities: Cancer Alliance for Help
and Hope, (H.O.W.) Hearing the Ovarian Cancer Whisper and the Kristin
Hoke Breast Health Program at Jupiter Medical Center.
Now as its own 501(c)3, Bluewater Babes also provides direct support to those in need through its “Out of the Blue” financial assistance
fund. Proceeds from both the annual Fish for a Cure events and
ongoing fundraising efforts will increase and extend Bluewater Babes’
reach to provide help for those in need in our own community.
Medical bills often leave patients strapped to pay for the basic
essentials: car payments, electric and water bills or even rent. Worry
abounds during treatment and these bills shouldn’t add to that.
We invite you to join us in our efforts - whether by fishing, joining in the
fun & festivities of the tournament or simply donating to our cause.
Together we can make a difference
for local cancer patients in need!

OUR Cause
Net proceeds raised from the tourn ament will go directly to Bluewater
Babes and other local charities. Since
2009, we have donated more than
$265,000 to help local breast and
ovarian cancer patients.
“The Cancer Alliance of Help and Hope, Inc. has
been honored to be a recipient of funds raised
by the Bluewater Babes tournament. This money
has been used to assist breast cancer patients
with normal everyday living expenses such as
their rent, mortgage, utilities, car payments, and
car and health insurance. These women are
undergoing major financial issues at this time
and because of the funds received, they are
able to stay in their homes, have utilities, a way
to treatment and this lessens the stress on them.
They can concentrate on healing and not where
the next rent payment is coming from.”
Jean Fischer, CAHH Board Member
“We are fortunate to be a recipient of the annual
Bluewater Babes Fish for a Cure ladies fishing
tournament again this year. The support H.O.W. receives from this wonderful event will allow us
to continue to ease some of the financial
burdens many women in Palm Beach County
experience when they are undergoing treatment
for ovarian cancer. The Bluewater Babes organization is a valuable partner in our community and
we are grateful for their support and vision.”
Anne Messer, H.O.W. Board Member
“The significance of support from organizations
such as Bluewater Babes allows us to maintain
the Kristin Hoke Breast Health Program,
which began in 2010 and provides a
multi-disciplinary approach to the diagnosis
and treatment of breast cancer.”

“ We were blessed to have had Kristin Hoke
involved in our Inaugural Bluewater Babes Fish
For a Cure event. Her commitment to cancer
awareness and those battling cancer has
challenged us both to have, as Oprah Win f r e y
would say, our "AH HA" moment. What we know
for sure is that when amazing women set their
minds to making a difference in their community
wonderful things happen. From the bottom of
our hearts, we want to thank our best friends
and family for all their support.
