“We loved it so much! It was a huge blessing to receive the equipment and the boat captains were so patient and motivated to teach the kids a new skill. My son loved fishing and felt real special receiving the plaque, he hung it up on his wall as soon as we got home! More events like this are needed!”
“Awesome program that helped my daughter realize what she could do, helped us as parents see what she could do, helped the volunteers see what she could do, helped those watching see what she could do. Profound success.”

2017 Event Recap
A beautiful summer day greeted the 34 participants and their families. A trout farm stocked 2000 trout the morning of the event, but very few were caught due to the 75 degree water. Lots of warm water fish were caught. This first time event was a thrill for all. Willie Boats sponsored the event, and many of their employees came out as volunteer boaters and shore volunteers.
