- C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation
- The C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation was formed in 1991 to join volunteers who love to fish with
disabled and disadvantaged children for a day of fishing in the outdoors. The C.A.S.T. for Kids
event was designed to create an environment whereby both children and adults could benefit,
each taking from the day their own lessons. Children and adults could leave their problems on
shore and share a day of fun on the water.
