Catch Your Moment
The Twin Ports Walleye Association (TPWA) supports the Catch Your Moment Foundation (CYMF) through advice and fundraising, like annual benefit events, to help the foundation take cancer patients fishing, channeling the founders’ vision for sharing fishing's therapeutic benefits, making TPWA a key local partner in CYMF's mission.
Key Connections:
-
Fundraising & Support: TPWA hosts events, such as raffles, where proceeds go directly to CYMF to fund fishing trips for cancer patients.
-
Shared Mission: Both organizations are rooted in the Duluth area, with TPWA promoting angling and CYMF focusing on using fishing as therapy for those fighting cancer.
-
Community Partners: TPWA supports CYMF as one of the local groups they support, indicating a strong collaborative relationship in the community.
-
Local Roots: CYMF was founded in the Duluth area, and TPWA serves the Twin Ports region, creating a natural partnership between the local angler community and the cancer support foundation.
