FISH and Wounded Warriors Plus Veterans Trip

FISH...Fishermen in Support of Heroes is gearing up for the next pier fishing event. We have already made arrangements for 18 Wounded Warriors out of FT BRAGG to come down and fish the salt for a day. This trip is absolutely free to the soldier. The pier fees/tackle/and lunch are provided for these guys. The date for this is September 24th. The fishing should be great that time of year.

Also on November the 7th we are sponsoring up to 400 VETERANs to do a free pier day. They must bring there own tackle but the pier pass and lunch is provided. What a way for lots of vets of all branches to come together and enjoy the passion of fishing.

This is a copy of our flier for those days, if you are interested, check out our flyer below. Also check out our website and the events section..

__________________________________________________ __________
In the spring of 2007 a small group of volunteers banded together in order to host a group of
Wounded Warriors from MCB Camp LeJeune for a pier fishing trip. This has been repeated
every year since. Each year the the numbers of fishermen got bigger as did the need for more
volunteers. The annual trip has become so big and the desire to include wounded soldiers from
Ft. Bragg and our military veterans that FISHERMEN IN SUPPORT OF HEROES, INC. was
formed.

In May of 2010, we held our fourth annual pier fishing trip with wounded warriors from Camp
LeJeune. In the remaining months of 2010 we will be hosting our first pier fishing trip with
wounded warriors from Ft. Bragg, on September 24th. In addition, on November 7th we will be
hosting 400 Veteran’s at a free pier fishing day on the Sea View Pier in North Topsail, NC. In
order to provide the quality events we are known for; we rely on donations of money,
merchandise and the donation of time from patriotic Americans such as yourself.
For our VETERAN’S DAY F.I.S.H.’N FEST 2010 we are seeking the help of businesses and
individuals to help us show our Veterans the respect and appreciation they deserve. For this
event we have established several levels at which you can donate. These levels are:
# Co-host $1500
# Sponsor $300
# Partner $100
# P-38 “John Wayne” Club $25
# Donor any lesser amount...lots of $5 dollar donations go a long ways.
The names of donors at the first three levels will appear on all advertisements, flyers, banners
and other media developed after October 1, 2010. All donors, including our “John Wayne” Club
donors will be listed on our website; www.fishheroes.org. All donated money will be placed in
our general bank account and any funds not used for the Veteran’s Day event will be used for
future fishing trips for our wounded warriors and veterans.
Donations can be mailed or given to one of our Board of Directors. Donations can include
merchandise or services in lieu of the full monetary amount, provided the value equals or
exceeds the listed amount. For more information concerning donating merchandise or services
