Meet the Fishermens Alliance Last Saturdays Hookers Ball XIII was a great success! Approximately $140,000 was netted to help the Cape Cod Commercial Fishermens Alliance continue its work to ensure healthy oceans and sustain profitable fishing businesses. We launched a video to introduce people to the fishermen of Cape Cod and the organizations work. Let us know what you think and share it widely with your networks! Help us spread the word about our work to keep our fishing communities thriving. In addition to fundraising, here are some other impressive numbers from the 2014 Hookers Ball: · 700 people attended · Bidding on almost 100 silent auction packages and 10 live auction experiences · Eating an incredible amount of locally-caught, fresh seafood: o 1,500 oysters o 1,400 littlenecks o 120 lbs. of scallops o 100 lbs. of Chatham steamers o 80 lbs. of sole o 55 lbs. of dogfish o 50 lbs. of razor clams o 50 lbs. of mussels o 35 lbs. of bluefish o 30 lbs. of skate o 26 lbs. of monkfish o 25 lbs. of lobster meat o 25 lbs. of cod o 21 lbs. of black sea bass o 18 lbs. of conch o 8 lbs. of bluefin tuna · One very grateful organization thanks its community for its incredible support of the family fishermen of Cape Cod.
