Alright folks, round 2.

We raised $1000 last year that went to www.catchadream.org 

 

https://www.gofundme.com/f/2nd-annual-fishmas-giving-back

 

This year we are running the same deal. Minimum donation is 5 bucks, with no maximum, to win $50.00 of Siebert Outdoors custom made jigs https://siebertoutdoors.com/ Shipping is on the winner of the raffle. 

100% of your donations will go to https://www.chefnature.org/home

Full disclosure. I volunteer annually and my father runs the fishing program. @cadman is also a volunteer.

 

@Siebert Outdoors will do a custom run or a package run...He hasn't agreed to this as of yet  I'm sure I'll hear about it later.

 

The raffle will be open until December 25th at midnight. It is exclusive to BR members and is not advertised anywhere else. 

 

A little bit about CHEF from my perspective

 

If any of you have tried to teach kids how to fish, you know it can be unnerving. It's also rewarding. 

 

The Youth Day makes for a long day. Before that long day, I respool 20-30 reels. Rig some with plugs for practice casting and the rest with #2 long shank Eagle Claw hooks and bobbers for real fishing. The pond is stocked with bass and bluegill. Each station is about 45 minutes in length. We give a short speech about fishing and spend the next 35 minutes is spent unhooking fish and untangling lines. We deal with kids 5-15 who have never seen a fishing rod or have had minimal exposure to the sport of fishing. 

 

CHEF also get's into hunting/shooting/bowhunting. I will do my best to make sure the money donated is to the fishing aspect of the charity.

 

Please give us a hand. https://www.gofundme.com/f/2nd-annual-fishmas-giving-back

I think you need to take "manage" out of your link. This one should work better.
