As the event grows & gains momentum each year, members of the community and local businesses have continued to generously contribute to the cause, making sure that every child – no matter their financial means – can be involved, have fun & enjoy a day of fishing with family and friends!

“Our girls had fun. They both caught a fish and were surprised to win trophies. It was a morning well spent as a family. This event made us go out and fish, something we wouldn’t have thought of. Now , we may do more fishing and make good use of the fishing rods that they were given. The volunteers were all nice. To the organizers , volunteers and sponsors, thanks for setting this up!”
