Wildwood Inshore Fishing Tournament

🎣 Wildwood Inshore Fishing Tournament 🎣
📅 June 27, 2026 First Light to Weigh in at 4 pm
📍 St. Augustine Boating Club

Join us for a day on the water supporting a cause that truly matters. The Wildwood Inshore Fishing Tournament is a beloved St. Augustine tradition benefiting St. Augustine Youth Services (SAYS), a local nonprofit providing mental health services, residential care, and community support for youth and families across our area.

This inshore tournament targets redfish, trout, and flounder and brings together anglers, families, and supporters for great fishing, friendly competition, and an unforgettable community experience.

🎶 Captain’s Meeting – Friday, June 26 5 - 8 pm
Kick off the weekend with raffles, food, and fun as we gather to celebrate the tournament and honor the legacy of John Ravan, founder of the Wildwood Inshore Fishing Tournament, whose passion for fishing and dedication to helping youth continue to inspire this event.

💙 Why It Matters
Your support to SAYS helps fund critical programs, including:

🏠 Independent Living Village
Opening in early 2027, this innovative program will provide safe housing, life skills training, and long-term support for young men aging out of foster care as they transition into adulthood and independence.

🏡 Boys Residential Services
Our residential program offers a safe, structured, and supportive home for boys who cannot safely remain with their families, helping them heal, grow, and build a foundation for a brighter future.

🤝 Community Team Services
Through outpatient mental health counseling, mobile crisis response, and community-based support, we meet youth and families where they are—providing care during some of life’s most challenging moments.

Whether you’re fishing, sponsoring, or cheering from the sidelines, your support makes a difference.

35th Annual TradeWinds Auction

Each year, our Annual Auction brings the community together for an unforgettable afternoon of generosity, connection, and fun—all in support of St. Augustine Youth Services and the youth and families we serve.

Hosted at the Trade Winds Lounge, this signature event features an exciting silent auction, high-energy live auctions led by celebrity auctioneers, raffles, and live music—creating a lively, welcoming atmosphere for longtime supporters and first-time guests alike. Attendees bid on unique experiences, local favorites, and one-of-a-kind items while enjoying an afternoon rooted in community and purpose.

Funds raised through the Annual Auction directly support our holiday needs—helping ensure our residential boys and community children experience a season filled with warmth, joy, and stability. From gifts and essentials to meaningful moments that create lasting memories, these funds make a real difference when it matters most.

More than a fundraiser, our Annual Auction is a celebration of community—bringing together businesses, neighbors, and advocates who believe every young person deserves to feel supported, valued, and safe.

Join St Augustine Youth Services for a historic milestone as we break ground on our Independent Living Village - a project more than 30 years in the making.

This ceremonial event will celebrate the beginning of construction on a supportive housing community designed for young adults aging out of foster care or transitioning from residential programs. The ILV will provide safe, stable housing alongside life-skills coaching, mental health support, and education and workforce guidance - helping youth build confidence, independence, and long-term stability.

The ceremony will include brief remarks from SAYS leadership and community partners, followed by a ceremonial shovel turning and photo opportunities. Community leaders, donors, partners, and supporters are invited to stand with us as we take this meaningful step toward changing outcomes for vulnerable youth in our community.

Together, we are building more than housing. We are building futures.

Overflow parking will be at the St Johns County Public Library 6670 US Highway 1 South, St Augustine, FL 32086. A shuttle will be provided to the SAYS residential campus.

Join us for light refreshments following the ceremony in our Recreational Building.
