Fair Haven Wounded Warrior and Special Kids Weekend

[Morgan-E]

I am placing a copy of the email I recieved in case people are looking to help out with this ongoing event that has doubled in size (number of soldiers) this year.  Anyone can contribute in many ways, such as showing support at the parade on Friday evening honoring these men and women, or if you are out on the water on the Saturday and happen upon a hot setup and are willing to let the boats know so that we can put a few more fish on the lines for these guys (channel 72) it would be greatly appreciated, or you can make a monetary or items donation.  The contact information is located at the end of the email that was sent out.

Thanks

 

Fair Haven, NY. 

The Fair Haven Fishing Association is hosting the 9th annual All Aboard Fishing Weekend Friday June 20 - Sunday June 22.  This is the 9th year for Kids -- children with special needs -- and our 6th Fair Haven Wounded Warriors fishing event for our military personnel.
 
20 plus Kids from Fair Haven and the surrounding area and 25 Fort Drum soldiers in the Warrior Transition Program and with special needs will join us this year.
 
The Wounded Warriors arrive Friday in Fair Haven at 3 pm and take in some activities at Anchor Resort and Marina.  At 6 pm (PARADE) they are escorted to the American Legion by the FH Fire Department, Hannibal Legion riders, cub scout pack 885 and others (we've had many residents and visitors line Main Street to thank our service members).  

 

At 5:30 AM Saturday the WW anglers head out for salmon fishing on several association charter boats and when they come back with their fish and stories, the association captains and volunteers have a BBQ ready to top off the day. 

On Sunday, the action starts again with our Special Kids.  We take them out for bass and panfish in the bay.  The "competition" between the association member boats is fierce for the most and largest fish.  Their day is capped off by another BBQ but it's not uncommon for many of the kids to fish off the docks at Anchor Resort and Marina with the fishing rod/reel combo given to them before they head back home.

 

If you can assist with a monetary donation, it will help us provide the kids with a fishing equipment and give each Wounded Warriors a cooler stuffed with an assortment of gifts.  Last year each WW was given a framed personal photograph of their fishing day, a trophy created and donated by a A-1 Trophies, (Syracuse) and combo tools, flashlights, DVD's, various sundries, etc. - we hope to fill the bag again this year

  
Please send your donation to FHFA, PO Box 566, Fair Haven, NY 13064 or drop off your donation to Anchor Resort and Marina.  Please send us an email to [email protected] letting us know what you are sending or donating so we can plan accordingly.

 

Thank you.
