The Foundation has put over 7,000 students through the program since its inception with the generosity of the participants once again providing funding for a full scholarship.

“The Bermuda Billfish Release Cup tournament kicks off with a best ball nine hole putt-putt team competition at the incredible Bermuda Fun Golf Course. In the Fun Golf Competition team El Cazador won in a “putt off” tie breaker with team Captain Paul Alderman receiving the green jacket. Team Mama Who placed second and Just a Dog earned third-pace. Winners of the golf competition received custom Bermuda cedar engraved goblets and Guy Harvey limited edition prints.”
