The first Reelin’ for Research tournament was held in 2009 in memory of Tony Montana who passed away from cancer in 2005. Tony was blessed to live a long and full life, but remarked during his battle that children with cancer were too often deprived of that chance.
Tony’s son Richard, along with a group of his friends, decided to honor Tony’s memory by doing something to try to change that. Tony was an avid fisherman and shared that love with his son throughout his life. So when that small group of friends asked themselves “what would Tony want?”, a fishing tournament benefiting childhood cancer research seemed the clear answer. And thus was born Reelin’ for Research.

To ensure a prosperous future for Moore County, we must attend to the needs of children today. All children's brains are constructed through an ongoing process that begins before birth and continues into adulthood. Like the construction of a home, the building process begins with laying the foundation, framing the rooms and wiring the electrical system in a predictable sequence. A strong foundation in the early years increases the probability of positive outcomes later in life.
Partners for Children & Families is working diligently to bring together all the people involved in a young child's life to help build this strong foundation. By improving access to high-quality, affordable early childhood programs, ensuring children are safe and healthy, and connecting families with the supports they need, Partners for Children & Families is making a promise to help build brighter futures for all of the children in our lives.
