The Kids Win Fishing Tournament held in Orange Beach, benefiting a special cause

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (WALA) - A wonderful event for children in our area took place Saturday at The Wharf for a special cause.

The Kids Win Fishing Tournament was held in Orange Beach. It was a fundraiser for Make a Wish Alabama.

The kids weighed in their fish, and there were all kinds -- redfish and catfish included. The tournament welcomed both novice and seasoned young anglers.

A check for $28,500 dollars was presented to Make a Wish from The Kids Win fishing fundraising team.

And a little girl from Bay Minette had her wish granted. Four-year-old Ada has bravely battled bilateral retinoblastoma -- a rare type of cancer that affects both eyes.

She received a pontoon boat that gave her and her family a chance to celebrate her journey, enjoy the outdoors and make new memories together.

The tournament was presented by Rouses.
