🌟 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT 🌟

A huge thank you to Chelsea Marine for being the VERY FIRST sponsor of the Nassau County Black Drum Tournament! From the very beginning, they believed in what we were building and stepped up to support our community, our fishermen, and especially the kids involved in this tournament. 🎣

Support from local businesses like Chelsea Marine is what helps keep traditions alive and gives the next generation the opportunity to experience the outdoors, fishing, and our coastal way of life.

We encourage everyone to support the businesses that support our local community and youth programs. It truly makes a difference.

Thank you again to Chelsea Marine for standing behind us since day one — we appreciate y’all more than words can say!
