Fish for Miracles

Imagine the help you're providing by fishing this bass tournament contributing to a child walking or talking for the first time. Imagine it, because it happens.

Children with developmental disabilities and delays from birth, injury or illness rely on the Children's Therapy Center for medical rehabilitation therapy services to help them achieve their highest level of independence.

Fundraising events generate 30% of the Children's Therapy Center's total annual budget each year. The only limit to the services provided is funding.
