It's All About the Troops!

GOALS OF FOUNDATION - 501(c)(3)

• Recognize & Thank men & women that served in the military for their sacrifice for country.  Recognition entails the foundation hosting full day striped bass fishing derby annually for 70-80 Wounded Warriors on Lake Murray.

• Bring’m Home For Christmas - Fund air travel for 30 - 40 deserving active duty Soldiers that require financial assistance to get home for Christmas. No man or woman left behind on a holiday.

• Thank First Responders - We could not host events for the military without the support of local Law Enforcement & EMS volunteers.  Our heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our communities and make it a better place. The foundation will host a fishing tournament for a select group of First Responders annually.
