A Fishing Charity Organization – Catch A Special Thrill

The C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation

Our mission is to provide special needs populations the opportunity
to enjoy a quality outdoor recreational experience fishing on the water.

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. The Foundation became an official 501(c)3 in 1994 and currently hosts three programs; C.A.S.T. for Kids, Fishing Kids, and Take a Warrior Fishing.
