Fish For A Cure (F4AC) has officially kicked off for 2022 to again support the Cancer Survivorship Program at Luminis Heath Anne Arundel Medical Center’s (LH AAMC) Geaton and JoAnn DeCesaris Cancer Institute. Over the last 15 years, they have raised nearly $4 million for this life-changing care program with the F4AC Tournament, Paul C. Dettor Captain’s Challenge, and Shore Party.
Now more than ever, a continued commitment as captains, anglers, corporate partners, and friends of F4AC touch the lives of thousands of patients and their families undergoing cancer diagnosis and treatment in our community. Because of the community, LH AAMC’s oncology team can provide a lifeline of compassionate support for all those who need it.

Join the Fundraising Competition
As a fishing and fundraising competition among friends, F4AC encourages you to build on the anticipation and hype by pairing your fundraising efforts for your boat with an event — whether it’s in-person or virtual! It doesn’t have to be large or expensive, but people are much more likely to get involved if they have something to look forward to. If you are hosting an event and would like F4AC to spread the word, please contact Melissa Bowen at [email protected] .
