DHR Health is getting ready once again to make a big splash at its 19th Annual “Fishing for Hope” Fundraising tournament. This year’s event is set to take place at Jim’s Pier on South Padre Island on August 23, 2025. All proceeds from the event will benefit uninsured patients who are treated at the Hope Family Health Center, a non-profit organization that sees over 5,000 patients a year. Over the past 19 years, DHR Health has helped raise over $5 M for the center since it’s inauguration of this signature event. 

“This is one of the largest fundraising fishing tournaments on the Texas coast and we invite all to join us for a day of fun and community spirit. Your participation helps raise essential funds to support families in need, providing them with crucial assistance and resources,” said Marissa Castañeda, Senior Executive Vice President for DHR Health. 

The Hope Family Health Center is a non-profit family healthcare facility with locations in McAllen and Weslaco that are dedicated to serving the healthcare needs of uninsured families living in the Rio Grande Valley.  The center provides various services, including medical, counseling, integrated behavioral health, peer support, case management, and wellness programs. All services are provided free of charge through the generous efforts of the center’s volunteer physicians and medical staff.

Every year, DHR Health employees dedicate themselves to establishing various fundraisers to benefit the Hope Family Health Center. They do this by hosting t-shirt orders, bake sales, and jewelry fundraisers. DHR Health employees have raised thousands to help the Hope Family Health Center. 

For those interested in joining DHR Health’s fundraising efforts, there is still time to become a valued event sponsor or participant. Several sponsorship tiers are available for a company or organization–platinum, gold, silver, or bronze. Each tier offers distinct benefits, including angler registration tickets to tournament and social events, company logo recognition in the local newspaper, a company banner displayed at Jim’s Pier, and ongoing company name announcements during event activities. Another way businesses can help support the event is by donating items that will be part of the event’s legendary stars auction. All community members are invited to participate by signing up to compete in the fishing tournament as well.

To become an event sponsor or for more information about the 19th Annual DHR Health Fishing for Hope Tournament, please call Minerva Echols or a team member at the DHR Health Events Department at (956) 362-3140.
