“My favorite part was interacting with my fisherman and seeing the smile on his face! Makes me remember to not sweat the small stuff and appreciate what I have.” – Volunteer Boater, Patoka Lake
“The pontoon boat allowed my son to stay in his wheelchair, yet still board the boat and actively fish! The awards ceremony at the end was so moving!!! To see each child get a round of applause and hear each individual story of their time fishing was so amazing!! I also LOVED how each boat captain bonded with each kid!” – Parent of Participant, Patoka Lake
