Sponsorship
Being in a rural community, RHVFC struggles to find resources for funding our nonprofit, volunteer, lifesaving organization. Your participation in and sponsorship of the tournament will specifically help us accomplish the following:
​
• Maintain and improve the RHVFC building and property
• Update live-saving apparatus to meet new standards
• Replace essential fire and rescue tools
• Outfit our firefighter volunteers with the proper safety gear
​
This hallmark event is very important to the RHVFC and the Rock Hall community. It helps us promote local businesses and our unique, time-honored history, and ensures that the RHVFC can continue its mission to protect and serve the citizens of Rock Hall and surrounding communities. We hope we can count on your support.

Prizes
Youth Division
The Guardian of the Pearl Rockfish Tournament Committee continues to proudly dedicate the 2nd Annual Rockfish Tournament Youth Division to the late Rock Hall Volunteer Fire Company Honorary Member Martin “Ton” Jacquette. Throughout the years, Ton played an important role during the annual Rockfish Tournaments held at the Rock Hall Bulkhead. Ton would keep everyone informed by sharing the exciting highlights of the day among anglers, staff and the community via his social media pages. Some of Ton’s favorite activities at the Tournaments was watching the youth weigh in their fish and capturing memorable moments using his photography skills. If there was a tournament happening, Ton was there. Therefore, the youth division is in honor of Ton’s memory.
If you would like to help sponsor these awards, please email Beth Councell at rhvfcrockfishtournament@gmail.com or by calling (410)708-0492. 100% of these donations go to the youth awards.
A Special Thank You
