About SISTERS HELPING SISTERS FISHING TOURNAMENT

SISTERS HELPING SISTERS FISHING TOURNAMENT is a San Leon, Texas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that raises funds through an annual fishing tournament and related community events to provide direct financial assistance to people facing breast cancer. The organization has been tax-exempt since August 2015 and operates as a donor-facing charity that awards micro-grants to help with medical and living expenses.

The group funds its grantmaking primarily through event-driven fundraising (the signature Sisters Helping Sisters fishing tournament, a memorial ride and a fun run) and distributes grants directly to local recipients to reduce the financial burden of treatment and recovery. Recent Form 990 filings show the organization reported substantial fundraising revenue and net assets that support continued grantmaking.

SISTERS HELPERS continues to be active in the Gulf Coast community: event registration pages, local media coverage, and county permitting records show recent and upcoming tournaments and companion events (registrations and approvals for multi-day tournament activity through 2026). The organization is widely recognized locally for directing event proceeds to individuals in need rather than to large program overheads.
