The City of Riviera Beach and the West Palm Beach Fishing Club (WPBFC) will host the 14th annual Palm Beach County KDW Classic on Saturday, June 4th, at the Riviera Beach Marina.
Their goal is to produce a fun and moderately priced family fishing tournament that promotes the local marine and fishing industry, and benefits the marine conservation and educational efforts of the WPBFC and its charitable affiliate, the Palm Beach County Fishing Foundation (PBCFF). The PBCFF’s annual Kid’s Fishing Day for underprivileged youth and Rods & Reels for Kids are two programs that benefit from tournament proceeds. The WPBFC and PBCFF have been advocates on marine conservation and public access issues and actively support the marine habitat enhancement.
