 My name is Coleman Bates, father of the late Brody Bates, creator of the Brody Bates Foundation. The Brody Bates Foundation was created in 2020. It was a foundation we started in the honor of our son, Brody Bates, who passed away in 2019. Our goal is to help or benefit other families that have lost a sibling. So growing up, Coleman and I got to know each other through sports at the local recreational league. A few years ago, Coleman came to me, they were interested in buying a sportsman boat, so we helped him go through that process. Not long after, the tragedy occurred. At the same time, we were a sportsman looking to figure out a way to get youth more involved in the outdoors, specifically fishing and boating. And so through that process, we were trying to establish a tournament down here in Charleston, South Carolina. And as I kind of walked down that road with Coleman, one thing that kept coming to my mind was it would just be a wonderful opportunity to name the tournament in honor of his late son, Brody, and that's exactly what we did. Brody Bates Red Fish Open was started in 2020 in honor of our late son, Brody Bates. With the help of Salt Fish and League and Sportsman's Boats, they created a tournament in the low country. Middle school and high school kids could compete while catching red fish with a chance to earn college scholarship money.
