5 Non-Profits: Giving Tuesday

1. Project Healing Water
Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, Inc. is dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and disabled veterans through fly fishing and associated activities including education and outings.

We have been big fans of project healing waters for a long time now, and have fished with multiple people who have personally been influenced by this incredible program. We actually made a video about one of them…

2. Bonefish Tarpon Trust
At Bonefish and Tarpon Trust, it is our mission to conserve and restore bonefish, tarpon and permit fisheries and habitats through research, stewardship, education, and advocacy.

Bonefish and Tarpon trust leads the way when it comes to preserving our saltwater game fish. We have really enjoyed watching this organization grow and expand in the last 5 years, and they need support now more than ever. We actually accompanied BTT’s Florida Keys research lead Ross Boucek and BTT’s business development lead Mark Rehbein on a week-long Tarpon Tagging adventure, where we got to see these guys in action!
