Thanks to a record attendance, the EMS Week Bass Tournament donated $3,000 to two charities. Proceeds benefited the Southeastern EMS Director's Association Paramedic Scholarship Fund and the Chattanooga Forgotten Child Fund. This was the fifth annual EMS Week Bass Tournament, held at Chester Frost Park.
This year's event had a larger than expected turnout with 53 boats and 106 fishermen from Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina. A big thanks to all who participated and to our sponsors and volunteers who help make the tournament possible every year.
