Unified Fishing Tournament – Bull Shoals
September 26 @ 7:00 am - 3:00 pm
Information
Join us for the 2nd Annual Unified Fishing Tournament, back by popular demand after an incredible first year! This heartwarming and inclusive event brings community anglers together with Special Olympics Missouri athletes for not one, but two opportunities to fish—one in June and another in September. Each tournament day is filled with fishing, friendship, and fun on the water.
This unique experience is designed to promote unity and inclusion by pairing experienced anglers with athletes of all abilities. Special Olympics participants get the chance to learn the sport of fishing in a supportive, hands-on environment—whether they’re casting a line for the first time or reeling in a big one. Along the way, teams build meaningful connections and unforgettable memories in the great outdoors.
Be part of something special as we celebrate sportsmanship, inclusion, and the incredible spirit of Special Olympics Missouri—twice this year!
