Dedicated to improving the health and the life of children in the Seacoast, long term advocates for direct distribution of funds and expense free management, Paul and Anna Grace Holloway established the Wentworth Marina Striped Bass Tournament.

The annual Wentworth Marina Striped Bass Tournament, the sole fundraising event for the Little Harbor Charitable Foundation (LHCF), is credited with gifting over 60 programs and raising over $1.6 million dollars in support for Seacoast area organizations since 1997.

Sponsor funds, 100% of which is annually channeled directly to the designated beneficiary organization have subsequently assisted thousands of children with basic health, welfare, education services and crisis care in addition to stimulating interest in and access to the arts and personal enrichment opportunities.

Each year the beneficiaries are selected having identified a program or project that will make that most important contribution – a discernable difference in the lives of the children they service. Operating costs and overhead are never considered. Programs and projects are monitored by LHCF board members through audited, on-site visits to substantiate the results of funded programs.

Rozalia Project for a Clean Ocean will be delivering interactive educational programs in seacoast schools and in partnership with local experiential educational programs during this summer and fall. Their goal is to reach over 1,500 young people. Their work with marine debris has been featured on major television networks this year. They will be bringing their 60’ vessel, “American Promise,” to the Wentworth Marina during the tournament for demonstration and tours. Through their remotely operated vehicle, they will demonstrate the technology used for research and data collection.
