Casting for Recovery, the organization that hosts fly fishing retreats for women with breast cancer, has announced a new “giving challenge” to celebrate Mother’s Day. In partnership with the Trout Unlimited/Costa 5 Rivers Clubs, this challenge runs from April 21 to May 11.
The TU/Costa 5 Rivers Clubs is a group of fly fishing clubs on college campuses across America, which are sponsored by TU and Costa. For this challenge, each group is competing to raise as much money as they can for Casting for Recovery.
The campaign website says that “every dollar raised sends a woman in treatment or recovery on a life-changing (Casting for Recovery) retreat, and gets behind TU Costa 5 Rivers Clubs, the next generation of conservation-minded anglers!”
The clubs themselves are responsible for a majority of the fundraising, but you can also donate directly to the club of your choice. There are clubs on dozens of college campuses, and you can browse the full list here.
The top three clubs in fundraising win an end-of-year party, along with prizes, from Costa, Turtlebox, Yeti, Ross Reel, and Yakoda. Other prizes will be awarded throughout the campaign, as well.
