Loveable Miami Heat mascot Burnie and the Miami Heat Dancers will entertain guests at the kick-off event—the Captains Party—for the 40th Annual Dolphin Days Family Fishing Tournament, June 5, at the Homestead-Miami Speedway’s Champions Club.
Benefitting the Homestead Kiwanis Foundation, the tournament is co-sponsored by the Military Affairs Council and funds raised will benefit the children of the Homestead-South Dade community, local charities, military families and community service projects.
Fishing day is June 7, with weigh-in, dock party and awards at Homestead Bayfront Park, 9698 SW 328th street.
“With Burnie and the Heat Dancers there to entertain and mingle with guests and some of the great silent auction items we have, we expect this year to be a tremendous success,” said Homestead Councilwoman, former Kiwanis Club president, and Tournament Co-Chair Erica G. Ávila.
The silent auction, one of the highlights of the Captains Party, will feature a wide variety of items, including a five day/four-night trip to one of the Caribbean’s most popular resorts, Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic. The trip to Casa de Campo has been the auction’s most popular items year after year.
After the early bird entry deadline of June 1—and up to 8 p.m. the night of the Captains Party—entry fees are $450 a boat and $125 for additional anglers. In keeping with the tradition of the event, kids and active/reserve military fish for free.
