Annual Beach Plum Inn American Heroes Saltwater Challenge

American Heroes Saltwater Challenge

Beach Plum Inn American Heroes Saltwater Challenge In 2008, seven year old Mini Junior Derby Winner, Jack Nixon, saw an article in the paper about recovering soldiers and came up with an amazing idea.

What better therapy could there be for these American heroes than a serious fishing tournament, a Menemsha sunset, great food & the grateful fellowship of an entire island community?

Jack answered that question and along with his family, the awesome team at the inns and their island community launched the American Heroes Saltwater Challenge.

WHO: Wounded Warriors from around the country.

WHAT: We are honored to provide our recovering heroes with an all-expense paid trip to Martha's Vineyard for some world class fishing, great food, a little rest & the grateful fellowship of an entire island.

WHERE: Base Camp - Beach Plum Inn, Menemsha, Massachusetts
