Out on the bay, every summer.

Out on the bay, every summer.

Every summer the Foundation runs Send A Kid Fishing trips out of Captree, taking thousands of children fishing over Ty’s Reef with partners like Youth Enrichment Services, Challenger Athletics, Florida Water Warriors, and Black Hawk Fishing. This year marks twenty-five years in the water, and the 2026 season was the biggest one yet.
