A gentle act of kindness goes a long way. Sofia Espinosa Fonseca was touched by the outreach ICO does for our community and wanted give back. Sofia is a local artist and loves to paint. She decided that would be how she would make an impact to ICO, by painting a picture that has meaning to her. Sofia stopped by the office to present her beautiful hand painted Betta Fish picture to ICO and we are truly blessed by Sofia’s kindness.

ICO was presented at $10,000 check for Cancer Outreach from Nancy and Fin Gaddy donated by Fin’s parent’s endowment; Charles W. Gaddy & Lucy Finch Gaddy Endowment Fund with the North Carolina Community Foundation. The Gaddy Endowment Fund was a sponsor of the 30th Annual Alice Kelly Memorial Ladies Only Billfish Tournament held in August 2019. The ladies really know how to celebrate an anniversary and it was a special day on the water. Blessed by pleasant weather and light winds, the 106 teams released 50 billfish and brought 22 game fish to the scales.
The big winner of the day was the ICO Cancer Outreach. They received over $50,000 in proceeds from this tournament. The proceeds raised are giving to ICO to help fund the ICO Cancer Outreach Program helping Dare, Currituck and Ocracoke Residents that are faced with cancer. In 2019 ICO was able to give back to our community over $308,000.00 in monetary outreach. ICO was able to help these residents with medical, rent, mortgage, medical deposits, physician appointments, dental emergencies, prescriptions, travel reimbursement to get to medical appointments, and all emergency needs.
I’m just overwhelmed by the tremendous support of all our teams and wonderful sponsors,” said Tournament Director Heather Maxwell. “For 30 years this fun tournament has helped so many and it really has a positive impact on the community. I’m very grateful to everyone who make it all possible.”
