Lightning coach Jon Cooper to host 'Coop's Catch For Kids' on Oct. 11

TAMPA BAY – Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper will host the first annual Coop’s Catch for Kids charity fishing tournament, in partnership with the V Foundation, benefitting pediatric cancer research at Moffitt Cancer Center and All Children’s Hospital, on Tuesday, October 11 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“We are extremely honored to be partnering with Dick Vitale and the V Foundation, as well as the Lightning Foundation, to raise money for pediatric cancer research,” Cooper said. “At some point in a person’s lifetime, cancer negatively affects someone close to you. Coop's Catch for Kids was created to help hopefully put an end to that.
