The Borracho Pescador fishing tournament is an annual fundraising event that benefits the International Rett Syndrome Foundation, Casting 4 A Cure and Texas Children’s Research Hospital, aiming to support and fund critical research and family support programs to find a cure for Rett Syndrome.
Borracho Pescador centers its giving on a fishing tournament that supports the International Rett Syndrome Foundation, Texas Children's Hospital, and related research and family support efforts tied to Rett syndrome. The foundation’s recent grant record shows a small set of beneficiaries receiving repeated general-support awards, with the largest checks going to the International Rett Syndrome Foundation and Texas Children's Hospital at $88,000 each in 2024. That pattern points to flexible funding rather than project-specific awards. The foundation also extends support beyond the core Rett syndrome network. In 2024, it awarded general support to The Marfan Foundation and to Lls Austin, while Casting 4 a Cure appears in the recent grant list in both 2023 and 2024. Those recurring awards suggest an ongoing relationship with a limited group of organizations rather than a broad, one-time grantmaking program. Leadership is listed under Kyle Wright, and the foundation’s filings show annual grants of $385,000 against total assets of $22,383 on the latest 990 year on file.
Borracho Pescador’s clearest thematic thread is Rett syndrome. In 2024, it gave $88,000 to the International Rett Syndrome Foundation for general support, and it paired that with another $88,000 general-support grant to Texas Children's Hospital. The foundation also backs community-linked charitable fundraising. Casting 4 a Cure received $19,000 in 2024 and $18,000 in 2023, both for general support, indicating continued support across multiple years. Beyond that core area, the recent grant list includes medical-condition and health-oriented support to The Marfan Foundation for general support. Lls Austin also appears as a 2024 general-support grantee, showing that the foundation’s giving includes other nonprofit organizations outside the Rett syndrome-centered pattern.
Borracho Pescador’s typical grant size sits at a median of $46,000, with a lower quartile of $18,750 and an upper quartile of $74,500. The recent grant list shows a mix of larger anchor gifts and smaller follow-on awards, including repeated support to the same organizations in 2023 and 2024. All of the listed recent grants are general support, which aligns with the foundation’s flexible-funding profile. The foundation does not fund individuals and is not listed as making program-related investments.
