At last years event I had a door prize give away. Just show up and you got a ticket for our prize giveaway.
Just two weeks before the Event a friend said you should charge for the tickets and then make a donation to a fishing cause with the money but it was to late as I had already told everyone obout the door prize raffle.
Although I thought it was a great idea.
After some thought, I decided I should put on an event from donations so that I/we can see the benefit of the donations made.
That's where I came up with taking donations to hold a Teach a Kid to Fish event. Where anyone can come and see or help out with teaching kids how to fish and supplying everything that is needed to have a fun filled day of fishing.
I hope to introduce many new young anglers to the sport of fishing. I hope I can reach single moms with sons and those who don't know how to fish with children and introduce them to fishing with a hands on event.
Many of my freinds have said that they would love to help out teaching the kids. All are welcome to help.
I have been over welmed with the generosity of companies and sportsman giving to The Gathering this year. I just can't thank sportsman enough.
New donations are also welcome and can be given right at the event as most are doing.
As a Thank You for making a monetary donation towards the "Teach a Kid to Fish!" event I am thanking you by giving you a ticket(s) for a drawing of company and individual given items. Some may be used but not used up.
If you just stop by and say Hi you can walk away with a warm heart knowing that you were at the event that will teach a kid to fish.
Thank you
