TIFT presents donation check to Museums of Port Isabel

During the Museums of Port Isabel’s 13th Annual Fundraiser on February 12th, Chuck Fultz, Texas International Fishing Tournament Board President, presented Gabriel Godines, Museums of Port Isabel Educational Programming Curator with a donation check for $2,000.

The Museums and TIFT have long been partners in preserving the history of the Laguna Madre area and supporting the area’s historical roots in some of the world’s finest sport fishing. The Historical Museum, housed in the Champion Building, features an exhibit of the tournament’s perpetual trophies, some of which date back to the first year of the then named Tarpon Rodeo in 1934.
