Annual Bass Tournament
May 17, 2008 marked the 19th Anniversary of the Wolfson Children's Hospital Bass Tournament, the largest single-day bass tournament held in the state of Florida. The tournament grows every year and, thanks to generous sponsors and participants, we contributed $130,000 to Wolfson Children's Hospital in 2008. Not only is this a profitable event, but also a lot of fun for the volunteers, the anglers, and for everyone who comes to enjoy the activities associated with the tournament, which is held in the "Bass Capital of the World," Palatka, Florida.

History of the Wolfson Bass Tournament The director of Plant Facilities Department of Baptist Medical Center Downtown, along with several outside contractors, wanted to play a major role in funding capital improvements and technological advancements for the
Children's Hospital. They created this tournament with the goal of making it the largest in the state raising money for kids. The tournament beneficiary, Wolfson Children's Hospital, provides specialty care for sick and injured infants and children.
