WHAT IS THE REDBONE?
Tournament History
In 1984, Gary and Susan Ellis' newborn daughter, Nicole, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. They were told with considerable care, she should live to her early teens. After asking the question "what is cystic fibrosis?", they set out to find a way to fight it. In 1988, with the help of their friends, including legendary hitter, Ted Williams, they founded the Redbone Celebrity Tournament to help the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation fund the research to cure CF. Guides, Anglers, and Celebrities from film and sports teamed up on thirty three boats to fish for redfish and bonefish. From that tournament came the name "Redbone." They raised $16,000 that first year and more importantly, introduced CF into the conscience of the very caring community of Islamorada in the Florida Keys. From that small seed, the Redbone has mushroomed into four tournaments spanning the length of the Florida Keys, from Key Largo to Key West, and a gallery specializing in saltwater art. It has taken on a life of its own. In the last ten years, the Redbone has made a total contribution to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of one million dollars.
When the Redbone was first established, children with CF rarely lived to attend high school. Today the median age of survival for a person with CF is 31 years. We should not celebrate this achievement, since a single life has yet to be saved from this devastating disease, but it has become a sign of hope for a brighter tomorrow for individuals with the disease and their families.
Money buys science, and science does save lives. That's why events such as the Redbone Celebrity Tournament Series are important. Through your support, you are insuring that aggressive, innovative research in CF will constantly be explored. By helping us support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, you are helping to build a bridge of hope that will eventually lead to the ultimate victory: a cure for cystic fibrosis. |
