The tournament honors the memory of Keli Wagner, the late wife of Big Rock board member Casey Wagner, who passed away from cancer in 2008. Keli was a passionate angler and a dedicated advocate for cancer care. Her commitment to the tournament’s success led to proceeds being donated to local cancer clinics. In 2023, the KWLA Tournament contributed $25,000 to enhance patient comfort and care. ​visitbeaufortnc.com+1thebigrock.com+1visitbeaufortnc.com+6thebigrock.com+6Instagram+6
