The Rotary Club of Seven Spring's 7^th Annual Cotee River Flats Classic, on October 16-17 at Whiskey Joe’s Port Richey location, raises money to positively impact local children and strengthen our community’s families.

Rotary's charity fishing tournament spotlights Trinity’s James P. Gills YMCA’s “Safety Around Water” program, which each year provides hundreds of free swim lessons to local children. Event proceeds provide free swim lessons, and support other community programs sponsored by Seven Springs Rotary, in partnership with the YMCA, Pasco-Hernandez State College and Metropolitan Ministries.

On October 16th, 6 pm, the fun starts with food, drinks and the Auction of Hope at the Captains' Party! Gift cards, merchandise and services will be auctioned to benefit Rotary’s community initiatives. This celebration is open to the community, and will host sponsors, boat captains, anglers, volunteers, Rotary members, and their guests.

On October 17th, 7 am, the morning after the Captains' Party, anglers will meet again at Whiskey Joe's Bar and Grill to begin the competition. After the boats return, participants will enjoy lunch and celebrate the winners!
