The Lil' Amp's Bent Rods Fishing Tournament is the premier annual fundraiser hosted by Not My Child, drawing anglers, families, businesses, and community members together for a day of competition, camaraderie, and cause. Held at Red Eye’s Dock Bar on Kent Narrows, this high-energy event offers participants the chance to compete for over $28,000 in cash and prizes while raising critical funds to support Not My Child’s programs in prevention, education, support, and recovery resources for individuals and families impacted by substance use.

Now in its third year, the tournament has quickly grown into a signature event on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, attracting both serious fishermen and recreational anglers alike. Beyond the fishing, the tournament features raffles, live entertainment, family-friendly activities, and opportunities for local businesses to showcase their brand through sponsorships, donations, and community engagement.

Proceeds directly benefit Not My Child’s mission, including Project Restart, which helps individuals in recovery rebuild their lives and reenter the workforce. By blending sport, community, and philanthropy, the Lil' Amp's Bent Rods Fishing Tournament highlights the strength of local partnerships and demonstrates how coming together for a shared purpose can change lives.
