C.A.S.T. “Catch A Special Thrill” for Kids Foundation is a public charity that was formed in 1991 to join volunteers who love to fish with disabled and disadvantaged children for a day of fishing in the outdoors.

This was the first year that my wife and I had the priviledge of participating. It was a very rewarding experience!

------------------------------------------------------------ -

Arrived and launched at 5:45 a.m. First mate is eagerly waiting...

The captain is standing by....

C.A.S.T. kids arriving and boarding...

Rigging the poles....

Waiting for the big one.....

------------------------------------------------------------ ----

After fishing we headed in, had lunch, and then had an awards ceremony and eack kid received a plaque for participating.

All had a wonderful time. I encourage all to give it a try!

Kids sure look like they were enjoying the day on the water

Hello Southern Dust, welcome to the forums. Got a great bunch of people here. Glad to see you come join us. Be sure to post some pics of your boat(s) in the 'Show Off Your Pontoon' section (or rebuild depending if you have before/after pics), as we'd love to see them. Also tell us your story in How did you come to join the forums? (just click on the red link and tell us all about it ). You probably did like a lot of us have. Looking for pontoon accessories and either found it through www.PontoonStuff.com ebay site or web store. Jim (administrator) and Andrea (pontoongirl) Myers (our hosts) have excellent staff members to help them help you find whatever it is you're looking for your boat and has excellent shipping and customer service. Have fun and happy boating. Be sure to edit your signature line to include details of your boat and motor so folks won't have to ask for it if questions arise later. Also visit our other sections like Where are you? so others will know what part of the country you're from. If you need any help editing your uploading your photo's, check out our primer here How To Upload Your Pontoon Boats Image, if you need help resizing them check out Software that helps you with pics & such. Be sure to review the posting rules and policies of the forum. If you have any issues with seeing photo's this link will explain it Issue regarding seeing photo’s on site.

Hey Southern Dust. Good for you. Working with a group of such special people always is more rewarding for you than it is for them in the long run. Thanks for doing that. We don't have a CAST up here in Washington State, that I know of, but I thoroughly LOVE working with Special Olympics as part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run. It is more of a fundraising effort for Special Olympics Athletes, but we also get to run elbows with many of our Athletes at the events we do. Keep up the good work.

Mike

C.A.S.T. , is this a state organization? I would like to get involved, looks like fun. My wife before she died was the director of special Olympics in our part of Florida. I miss it.

It looks like a national organization, but holds events throughout the country. You can google 'Catch a special thrill' and their site comes right up.
