Most of you know that I put together a donation drive through the Racks & Spurs Club & our sister site LunkersAndLures.com for boys that are in a Drug & Alcohol Rehabilitation Center here locally to help provide the facility with the proper fishing equipment to get them out on the waters and getting a taste of the great outdoors! This "Fishin' Mission" had a purpose to give these boys an opportunity to see that there's more to drugs and alcohol and life on the streets while giving them a chance to understand what you and I all feel when we've got a "big 'un" on the other end of our line.
That being said, It's with great pleasure and pride that I announce that the donation drive was a HUGE success in that we received MORE than enough equipment to help support the cause! We owe it all to you, our good hearted/natured members that helped us acheive this goal and at this time I would like to thank all those who participated in the Fishin' Mission's donation drive and for all that was donated. Thank you very much for such great deeds, you all will be making a great impact on these boys! We'll be posting up pics of the equipment we received and listing those who've donated as a thank you and recognition of their dedication to our youth. We also are in the works on setting up a fishing trip with Seaducktion (from Lunkers & Lures) to get them out on the water and get some tight lines! Thanks again to all who helped and it prides me to be associated with such great people!
Sincerely,
Jason Collins AKA "The Gob-Father" Owner/President RacksAndSpursClub.com
