‘Tween Waters Inn Island Resort will host a benefit for 40-year veteran fishing guide Capt. Jerry Way Saturday, 6-9 p.m., in the Wakefield room.

Admission is $15 and includes a hog roast dinner, cash bar, live music and silent auction.

Recently diagnosed with cancer, Way is known as one of the longest working captains on Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Moving to Sanibel Island in 1954 he eventually became a captain and fishing guide, working more than 40 years on the island.

“Jerry has been a part of our island family for decades,” says fellow Capt. Lamar Williams, organizer of the event. “When a family member becomes sick, you help them in any way you can.”

The silent auction features a two-day stay at ‘Tween Waters Inn along with other hotel stays and local participating organizations.

All of the admission, silent auction, dinner and a portion of the bar proceeds will benefit Way’s family for medical and living expenses.
