“Thank you SO much for C.A.S.T. – the organization, the warm friendliness of the volunteers, the encouragement, and especially the look on my son’s face when he catches a fish – all completely priceless.” – Parent of Participant
“My most memorable part of the event was being able to see the excitement in the kids’ faces while on the boat fishing. Just being lucky enough to hook into fish was just a bigger plus. Having to witness these kids first time setting a hook and landing a fish on their own was just an amazing experience not just for me but for the kids as well. I can’t thank the organization enough, and I appreciate the opportunity to have been part of the event.” – Volunteer Boater
This is a C.A.S.T. for Kids event designed to provide children with disabilities, ages 6 – 18, the opportunity to enjoy a quality outdoor recreational experience through the sport of fishing. Take to the water with C.A.S.T. for an unforgettable morning of fishing and boating!
