The Billfish Foundation’s 40th Anniversary Gala will celebrate four decades of billfish conservation with an evening of cocktails, dinner, dancing, and live and silent auctions at the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale on October 30, 2026.
Lifetime Achievement Award recipients, Capt. Bubba Carter and Molly Fleming will be honored, along with President Ellen Peel, who announced her upcoming retirement in December after three decades of dedicated service. The evening will reflect on how far we’ve come, celebrate the people who shaped TBF, and look ahead to the next chapter of billfish conservation.
