Our Sponsors
The JSG143 Memorial Fishing Tournament would not be possible without the generosity and support of the people and businesses who believed in Jon's memory and our mission from day one.
Every sponsor of the JSG143 has contributed not just to this tournament, but to something much larger — a movement to normalize conversations around men's mental health, reduce the stigma around seeking help, and honor the memory of a man who touched everyone he met. We are deeply grateful for their support of our mission with the Movember Foundation.
When we set out to create the official JSG143 Memorial Tournament shirt, we knew it had to be more than just a piece of clothing. It needed to carry the weight of Jon's memory, the spirit of the South Shore, and the heart of a community coming together for a cause. That's exactly what Merchd delivered — and then some.
Working under a tight deadline with a complex design brief that included a tribute to the Minot's Ledge Lighthouse and the JSG143 identity, Merchd's team brought an extraordinary level of care and craftsmanship to every detail. Their commitment to getting it right — not just good enough, but truly right — meant the world to us and to the Grimm family.
The shirts sold almost immediately. That speaks not just to the community's support of Jon's legacy, but to the quality and meaning that Merchd helped us create. Every shirt out there on the South Shore is a small act of remembrance, and Merchd made that possible.
100% of shirt profits go directly to Movember Men's Health in Jon's honor. Merchd's partnership has directly amplified the impact of that mission — and we couldn't be more grateful.
If you knew Jon Grimm, you knew he had a spot. A place where he felt at home on the water, where the conversations flowed as freely as the tide, and where fishing was never just about the fish. For Jon, that place was Belsan Bait & Tackle — and Pete, the owner, was one of his people.
Pete and Jon shared a friendship built over rods and reels, early mornings and late evenings, and the kind of easy camaraderie that only comes from a shared love of the water. Belsan wasn't just a shop Jon frequented — it was part of his fishing life on the South Shore, a place that understood and celebrated the culture Jon gave so much of himself to.
When we reached out about the JSG143, Pete didn't hesitate. His support of this tournament is a reflection of the bond he shared with Jon and his belief that the fishing community of the South Shore should come together to honor one of its own. That kind of generosity — personal, genuine, and rooted in real friendship — is exactly what this tournament is built on.
We encourage every angler who fishes this tournament to stop in at Belsan Bait & Tackle, introduce yourself to Pete, and experience the place that meant so much to Jon. It's a cast from the North River, and it's worth every mile.
