The Bulldog Strong Foundation held its first fishing tournament July 20 at Lake Istopoka in Sebring, with 19 boats entered and 36 anglers. The program to benefit DeSoto families was formed by school district staffers Cassandra Dobbins and Kimberly Alexander, the idea to provide emergency funds to families pinched for cash and with kids enrolled in the district. Tournament proceeds will be used to build the Bulldog Strong Foundation. Applicants for the funds will be screened by the foundation’s leadership team.
