cial needs a quality outdoor recreational experience. The C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation is in its 33nd year of celebrating children with special needs by providing free boating and fishing events for them to enjoy the outdoors. In 2022, the Foundation will hold over 90 events in 35 states. Texas conducts more than twice the events of any other state. You can view a complete National schedule at www.castforkids.org. At each event, participants receive a free Zebco rod & reel, tackle box, event t-shirt, fishing cap, award plaque, and lunch for everyone, provided by Texas Farm Bureau. A morning of fishing will be followed by a picnic lunch for all and an awards ceremony for the kids. The Bonham Fire Department will have a truck to show and Lone Star Law star and Fannin County Game Warden, Randolph McGee will be on hand to honorarily deputize each child. Volunteer boaters will be taking the kids boating and fishing from 8 am to 11:30 am. Each child must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian on the boat. If boat space allows, additional siblings and family members may be able to go boating as well. However, only participants and one parent or guardian are guaranteed to go boating at the event. We need volunteer boaters and corporate sponsors! Anyone who would be like to volunteer with their boat or sponsor this event should contact the Bonham event coordinator, Eric Rice at lakebonham@castforkids.org or 360.241.1790. For registration questions, contact Jennifer Reeves at lakebonhm@castforkids.org or 469.463.4993. The C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation is recognized as a taxexempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions are deductible to the extent allowed by law.
