The following was sent to me from Don Barone (DB), who founded Tackle The Storm Foundation.

 

When all is said and done in this sport I hope the record books show that the man standing next to me, Skeet Reese was not only a champion at the highest level in his sport...but was also a champion humanitarian...and to me that's the most important thing and why I can honesty say that I love the dude...this Skeet Reese and his family Kim Reese.

 

Sneak preview here, bigger story coming soon, but Skeet has put together a raffle that will benefit Tackle The Storm Foundation a bunch, and without Skeet's help way back there would be no Tackle The Storm.

 

In the 6 years of Tackle The Storm, Skeet the co-founder with me and major FUNDER of the foundation, has managed to put over 1,400 children back on the water fishing after storms in their lives have taken that joy away.

 

To a child a simple fishing rod and reel is a magic wand, every cast a treasure hunt and so Skeet is launching a nationwide raffle of stuff valued at over $10,000.

 

Here's what the winner will get:

Mercury Marine Tempest Prop & Quicksilver Oil
General Tire – Set of 4 General Tires of your choice.
Power-Pole gift card for a Power-Pole 2
Lowrance HDS 9 Gen 3 Touch
Lucky Craft Lure pack
6 Wright & McGill Skeet Reese Rods & 6 Victory Reels
Dick’s Sporting Goods Gift Card
Trokar hooks pack
Huk Gear Next Level rain suit
2 inflatable life jackets from Ranger Boats
Berkley tackle pack
Autographed Skeet Reese Tournament jersey

 

Tickets are $10 and will benefit Tackle The Storm Foundation with the possibility of a MATCHING donation that will double our ability to put the magic wands of childhood back into a youngsters hands.

 

For more information click this link, more info will be available soon.

Thank You...and to Skeet, Kim and the girls...love ya.
