Let's Go Fishing is partnering seniors with kids to expand the fishing and pontoon excursions that build relationships and communities.
Xavier, 6,twin sisters, Jenaye and Lori, 7, and Christian, 8, were excitedly working their slip bobbers and leach-tipped jigs, but the sunfish they sought were just not taking the bait. "That's why they call it fishing and not catching," laughed a Let's Go Fishing volunteer as he prepared to manueuver the pontoon boat for another run at the fish.
Increasingly the LGF volunteers are hosting young people along with senior citizens on the outings. Let's Go Fishing knows the value of inter-generational activities. The anticipation of the trip and the stories told about the trip for weeks afterwards are just as important. Plus, time with a grandparent is priceless.
All donations are received and receipted by Razoo Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) charity that operates a donor advised fund to fulfill donor advisements.
On Give to the Max Day, November 16, 2011, thousands of Minnesota nonprofits raised $13.4 million in just 24 hours.
See final results and learn how to bring a giving day to your community.
