Southport Inshore Challenge Sponsorships

August 16 – 17, 2024, at Morningstar Marinas Southport

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Fisherman’s Post is looking to work with area sponsors to help make the Southport Inshore Challenge another huge success. The Southport Inshore Challenge (also this year’s Event #4 in the Fisherman’s Post Inshore Trail) has quickly become the area’s premiere inshore saltwater fishing tournament, and proceeds from the event will once again be donated to Wilmington Elks (#532).

The Southport Inshore Challenge will host a one red drum leaderboard, as well as several TWTs, playing on the popularity of red drum fishing and the recent trend towards smaller boats and inshore fishing. And as a product of Fisherman’s Post, the event and its sponsors are guaranteed high visibility in front of the large saltwater fishing community of southeastern North Carolina.

In addition to being strongly marketed, we put great emphasis on providing our participants with a weekend of events (captains’ party, awards party & dinner, etc.). We also emphasize a family-friendly atmosphere by encouraging junior, lady, and senior angler participation and conservation by bonus payouts for live weigh-in and releasing live fish.

Market your business, expose potential clients to your products and services, and create a favorable impression of your business by aligning yourself with this strongly marketed and highly visible inshore fishing tournament (and the proceeds go to a great cause).

The Wilmington Elks (#532) invest in their communities through programs that help children grow up healthy and drug-free, by undertaking projects that address unmet need, and by honoring the service and sacrifice of our veterans.

In addition to the different sponsorship levels to choose from, there are several other ways to get involved: donate prizes for the raffle; donate items for the captains’ bags; volunteer your time; and/or enter a boat as a contestant.
