CHAPIN, S.C. – The Fishers of Men National Tournament Trail recently announced a new partnership with the C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation. This collaboration represents a significant milestone in FOM’s ongoing commitment to community engagement and support for children with special needs.
The C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation is dedicated to enriching the lives of children with special needs, supporting their families, and strengthening communities through the sport of fishing. Their mission is to empower families and communities to celebrate children with special needs, ensuring these children feel loved, valued, and recognized as an important part of their community. This partnership is very important to the future of our fishing communities as both organizations are actively working to grow the sport and increase participation in fishing for generations to come.
Since its inception in 1992, the C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation has partnered with local volunteers to host around 100 fishing events annually across the United States. These events provide children with special needs and their caretakers a unique opportunity to come together with community volunteers for a fun day of fishing and celebration they might not otherwise experience. Through these events, children with disabilities are shown that they can accomplish anything, offering a refreshing break from their daily challenges.
“We are excited about our new partnership with the C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation,” said Senior Vice President of Operations of Fishers of Men Tournament Trail, Bob Eads. “This seems like a natural fit with some outstanding folks, and we are eager to support their mission. We believe in the power of fishing to bring people together and make a positive impact on the lives of children with special needs.”
To maximize the impact of this partnership, the Fishers of Men Tournament Trail will be coordinating new C.A.S.T. for Kids events. This hands-on involvement will not only promote our partnership but also directly benefit the children and families served by C.A.S.T. for Kids. By participating in these events, FOM members will help to grow the C.A.S.T. for Kids events, helping illustrate the commitment to the mission of both C.A.S.T. for Kids and FOM.
The Fishers of Men Tournament Trail will be listed as a Partner on the C.A.S.T. for Kids website, and joint events will be promoted on social media. This visibility will highlight how the partnership translates into tangible benefits for the community, providing a compelling reason for others to support the mission.
