Hope Classic Registration Is Officially Open

Today’s the day. Registration for the Hope Classic is officially live, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome anglers from across the community to a tournament built on something bigger than competition.

The Hope Classic was created around family, faith, and giving back — bringing anglers together to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital while doing what we all love most: fishing.

Whether you’re fishing for the win, for the cause, or for the experience, this is a tournament that truly matters.

How to Register for the Hope Classic

(Two Required Steps)

To be fully registered for the Hope Classic, anglers must complete both steps below. Each step is required to compete.

STEP 1: Register for the Tournament

Tournament registration is handled through Fishing Chaos, the industry-standard platform many anglers already know and trust.

STEP 2: Register Your St. Jude Fundraising Page

After registering through Fishing Chaos, anglers must complete the second step by setting up their St. Jude fundraising page.

Every dollar raised helps support children and families facing unimaginable challenges. This step is required to be fully registered for the Hope Classic.
