Fishing Derby For Susan G. Komen For The Cure

[alletec]

As some of you may know My fathers wife Nancy is going through treatments for breast cancer. She is doing very well and is grateful for all of your preys and thoughts, they have ment a lot to all of us.

I am hosting a fundraising fishing derby for trout to raise money for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure on August 28th 2010. I am looking for people who love to fish to join the team and also sponsors to donate to the cause. If you would like to be a sponsor you would sign up with a fisherman to donate money for every fish caught and release through the course of the day on August 28th. Example would be sponsoring a fisherman for .50 a fish. That fisherman catches and release 35 fish. Your donation would be $17.50.

If you would like to participate as a fisherman, you would need to get sponsorships from your friends and family to sponsor you. If you get 25 people to sponsor you at .50 a fish and you catch 35 fish, you would collect $437.50 from your sponsors. That would be $17.50 from each sponsor totaling $437.50 for your fishing efforts. I have sign up sheets for the fisherman to collect the sponsors and their donations.

The event will be held at Lilley's Landing resort on Lake Tannycomo in Branson, MO. Rooms are available at the resort for this event. The resort is very family centered and there is more to do the just fish. This is a family event. You do not need to be an expert fisherman to participate. Every fishing skill level is welcome. We will have door prizes for everyone and a biggest fish money prize and 50/50 drawing after the day's fishing has concluded.

If you are interested in either fishing the derby or sponsoring a fisherman please contact me through this forum or by phone at 314-308-2950

A wade or boat event? Whatever it is it's a great idea. Anything I can do to help let me know.

You can fish any way you choose. Boat, wade, from the dock. It makes no difference. I want to try to get as many people involved as possible, no matter the skill level.

If you would like to fish in the derby, send me your email address and I will send you the form to get your sponsors sign up to sponsor you. If you have any further question let me know.

Thanks Dano

How does it work? check in fish as they are caught? Fill out a card? or what? August is a while off, I think you can stir up some interest with a little more details.

The derby is based on the honor system. You keep track on how many fish you catch during the course of the day. I have Excel sheets for you to keep track of people that are sponsoring you and how much per fish they are sponsoring you for. The example I am giving is if someone sponsors you for .50 a fish and you catch 35 fish that sponsors donation is $17.50. If you get 25 sponsors at .50 a fish each, you collect $437.50 for the charity. I have sponsors that are pledging $1.00 per fish. This is designed to get as much money to the charity as possible and giving everyone an excuse to go fishing, as if we need any more excuses to fish.

As for the biggest fish of the day, that fish has to be brought in and weighed. Remember, this is for charity and is a fun family event.

I hope this answers you questions. If you need any further information let me know, or if you have any suggestions on how we can make this better I am game to hear them.

Thanks
