The C.A.S.T. Foundation is so excited to have Texas Farm Bureau Insurance as not only the title sponsor for our July 2021 Waco Texas Gala/ Fundraiser, but also as a presenting sponsor of every single C.A.S.T. for Kids event in the State of Texas for 2021. This is their third year to sponsor our Waco Texas Gala/Fundraiser and all C.A.S.T. for Kids events in Texas. This assists our incredible network of volunteer coordinators in providing the best possible experience for every child that attends our events.

 

 

In 2020, the C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation welcomed The Sportsmen’s Club of Fort Worth as a title sponsor for our first annual Fort Worth Gala/Fundraiser as well as a presenting sponsor to six C.A.S.T. for Kids events in the State of Texas.  In 2021, the SCFW will be a presenting sponsor of the Classic C.A.S.T. for Kids event in Texas.  Their support has allowed more children with special needs in Texas to have the opportunity to go fishing and to be celebrated by their community.


California Department of Water Resources is a proud partner of C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation. They work alongside C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation to benefit the California’s children with special needs and their families to protect, restore and enhance the natural and human environments through a fun day of fishing.

“TVA has a proud history of serving the people of the Tennessee Valley region. We are proud to partner with the C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation to support accessible outdoor experiences for children. By working with local communities and organizations such as this, we can help to make the Valley a better place to live, work and raise our families.”

The C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation is thankful for the long time support of Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Outdoor Fund.  Through their generosity, new events are added to the calendar for children to overcome their limitations and experience a great day of fishing.
Chase Anderson, B.A.S.S. Chairman: “As an organization, B.A.S.S. is proud to support the work of C.A.S.T. for Kids and their extraordinary commitment to serving children with special needs and making a positive impact in their communities. It’s so encouraging to see the passion Bassmaster Elite angler Jay Yelas has for C.A.S.T. for Kids and the support the program receives from other Bassmaster Elite Series anglers. The C.A.S.T. for Kids mission aligns well with our values, and we are pleased to support their efforts to provide children with special needs the opportunity to experience the joy and excitement of fishing.”

Growing up with a disabled brother, we witnessed first-hand all of the outdoor activities that disabled children miss out on. On the flip side, we also were very fortunate enough to witness the never-ending smiles that resulted pretty much every time our brother Daniel went out on the boat or fished with us on the shore or pier. It was those little trips we took for granted that Daniel always kept talking about. Those were his favorite memories. So we wanted to give those same kinds of unforgettable experiences to as many disabled kids as possible. Thanks C.A.S.T.!
