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, and Black Hawk Fishing. This year marks twenty-five years on the water, and the 2026 season is going to be the biggest one yet.
