Charity Group Comments: “The support that you’ve given our Foundation has had a huge impact, not only on the children who attend our events, but their families. Our events continue to grow, having additional rods and reels will help us to better serve our kids! Thank you, WBC, for all that you do and for helping us to introduce the sport of fishing to kids, many of whom, have never been to a lake or seen the ocean before attending one of our events!” Dan Hernandez, Founder
