Boys & Girls Club First Time Fishing

7/25/24: Our nonprofit organization ‪@CastItForwardFishing‬ spent the day with the fun, spirited youngsters from the Boys & Girls Club of NEO.
The Boys & Girls Club mission is "to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens".
We are honored and proud to do our part in helping them fulfill their mission.
We shared time today fishing and learned about how to properly cast and retrieve, safely handle and release fish, enjoyed the outdoors, and talked about our responsibility to respect nature and to leave our outdoor areas better than how we found them.
After our tasty cookout lunch, and at the end of our day together, we talked about the benefits of spending time outside and the joy of sharing the experience with others.
With the goal of encouraging continued participation in our great sport and awe-inspiring outdoors, we then provided each participant with their very own brand-new fishing rod / reel combo, stocked tackle box, fishing hat, fishing shirt, "how to" fishing book, and custom frisbee.
It was a fun filled, active day spent with the great kids from the BGCNEO, and we look forward to sharing time outside with them again soon.
