"Your donations can help the Lifeboat Station continue its mission of saving lives at sea.
"Come down and watch! We can't wait to see you all there."
Last year's event ended with 2-0 victory for the New Brighton Lifeboat team.
It was the fourth time the two teams had competed against one another, with New Brighton’s volunteer crew having already claimed victory in the previous three contests.
