Event Description

fundraiser for a campaign to send a double amputee combat vet to Alaska for a fishing adventure.

  • Our host is the Big Bear Café on Main Street in Gainesville, GA. Our co-host for the event is the Gainesville Chapter of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. I am a disabled veteran who loves to fish and wants to leverage my community of professional fishermen, to provide Sean with a world class fishing experience in the Alaskan wilderness. An Improvised Explosive Device took Sean's legs when he was in Afghanistan and he now operates out of a wheelchair. I have had long discussions with fishing guides about getting guys like Sean in a boat. The consensus from the guides was that they could make it happen, so here we are, raising money to send him and his friend on this trip and he will be on some of the most coveted fishing waters on the planet. The lodge (www.katmai.com) is extremely excited that Sean will be visiting them and we will have photos and video to share when they return. Come see the cars, have a cup of coffee and a biscuit, and see who wins the Decibel Challenge (smile) - if the weather works for us, we are guaranteed to have a fun day! All proceeds will benefit the funding campaign for Sean that can be found atwww.gofundme.com/sendseanfishing
