About Big Game Battle
Beginning with just three boats and some recreational fishermen, the Big Game Battle tournament has now been a highlight for Nantucket summers for twenty years. Over 50 boats now participate in this invitational tournament and has raised over $1 Million. This event would not be possible if not for the participants and sponsors who continue to support the Big Game Battle & our cause year after year.
We have successfully raised funding for many charities at The Big Game Battle including: The Corey C. Griffin Foundation, The Dana-Farber Cancer Research Institute and The Jimmy Fund to support Leukemia Research and Patient Care, Juvenile Diabetes, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, The Boys and Girls Club of Dorchester, The Nantucket S.T.A.R. Program, ALS, Camp Harbor View, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, The International Rett Syndrome Foundation, and Home Base, a Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Program.
Set in the History-Rich Island of Nantucket
This is not a ‘money’ tournament. We do support the competition between the boats and crews. However, our most important goal is to have a fun weekend with friends and return home with memorable stories.
