Our mission is to connect underserved boys and girls with fishing, fostering a passion for nature and outdoor activities. Our hands-on experiences provide a positive outlet for personal growth and instill a lifelong commitment to conservation and protecting our natural environment.
Our Mission
How the Foundation Has Started and Grown
Our Foundation began with shipping lightly used fishing gear to deserving local groups to now being able to ship brand new Abu Garcia Ike Dude rods, Flambeau tackle boxes and a variety of soft plastics to schools, fishing groups, Boy/Girl Scouts and many other organizations across the country.
Plans for the Future
Our goal for the future is to double the amount of youth we can reach through the sport of fishing. We are working on partnering with groups from all over the country to hold “Ike AmBASSador” fishing events and Clinics, continue to send out donations to groups and also be able to award scholarships to many more graduating seniors, who are continuing with their education.
