“We believe every child is worth celebrating, can overcome limitations and have a victorious day through a joyful day of fishing. Kids, their families, and community volunteers come together for an explosion of fun and inspiration. C.a.s.t. For kids foundation hosts annual opportunity through the sport of fishing to organize and hold events where these children are paired with experienced fisherman and taken out on boats for a day of fishing and outdoor recreation.”

“The c.a.s.t. For kids program is designed to create an adaptive environment where children, ages 5-17, and adults can both benefit, sharing a day of fun on the water they may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience, exposing them to the sport of fishing, and the enjoyment of the outdoors. It encourages continued participation in fishing by developing skills in the children along with their parents as well as gifting them with fishing gear. Through the experience, we provide education and understanding to children about fish as a natural resource. The local community is strengthened as the event seeks to increase the awareness of all participants, parents, sportsmen, and volunteers, to the capabilities of children with disabilities. Number of people benefitted: 13,300 in 2024”
