Thanks to Our Many Sponsors and Supporters

The Governor's Cup Billfishing Series is an annual, umbrella event encompassing many of South Carolina's billfish tournaments. A concept of former SC Governor Carroll A. Campbell, the Cup is designed to promote the state's billfishing tournament industry, increase coastal tourism and encourage the conservation of ocean resources through the tagging and release of billfish.

The Harry Hampton Memorial Wildlife Fund, Inc. is a private, non-profit corporation which partners with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources for the promotion of education, research, management and the administration of game and fish laws, which will benefit conservation of wildlife, marine and other natural resources in South Carolina.
