Wish a Fish
Biography
The Wish-A-Fish Foundation organizes children’s fishing events throughout the year. Our goal is to give special needs children with a serious or life-threatining illness, a physical, or developmental disability, and their immediate family a chance to leave their troubles at the dock and enjoy a day on the water.
Why fishing, you may ask? Our volunteers all have a special passion for fishing, the water, and the outdoors. Everyone has a different motivation, but we all believe that fishing makes our lives better. We learn about nature, see some great scenery and realize how much we still can learn. It slows the pace and frees us from our everyday lives. It builds bonds with friends and creates some of our fondest memories. We may hook the fish – but in reality, we think it’s the fish that hook us.
Our Wish-A-Fish events aren’t just for the special needs child – they are focused on the entire family. We try to make sure that brothers and sisters and the parents all have a great day.
Everyone gets to go on the water and fish. Our volunteers love to share and will show everyone the proper fishing techniques and pass on some of their knowledge of our wonderful natural resources. We provide special event T-Shirts for everyone and the children get fishing gear to take home to hopefully use on their next fishing adventure.
