It all started in 2005 when a small group of fisherman joined together to steer their passion for fishing to a cause that would help feed the hungry. What culminated from this idea was the first Oregon Tuna Classic. Over the years others have recognized this cause and have joined to help create what the OTC is today. Each year the tournament has seen exponential growth. The cash contribution to the Oregon Food Bank has nearly doubled from year-to-year. Portland, Oregon

A fundraising event for the Wildland Firefighter Foundation (WFF). ​Much more than just a fishing tournament; music, food, activities, auctions and fun. The Rip-N-Lips Invitational is a fishing tournament and charity auction event with activities for the whole family. It was started in 2010 by Sam and Katie Pearcy. As a wildland firefighter, Sam wanted to start a fishing event to benefit the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. The Foundation is an amazing support resource for all wildland firefighters.
