Free fishing day for kids with special needs

CORDRY-SWEETWATER — The C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation will have an event at Sweetwater Lake on Saturday, Aug. 21. The boating and fishing event is open for all children, ages 6 to 18, no matter their disability. Participants must pre-register online at castforkids.org/event/sweetwater. The space is limited to the first 40 children who register.

The C.A.S.T. (Catch a Special Thrill) for Kids Foundation hosts annual fishing and boating events across America to provide children with special needs a quality outdoor recreational experience.

Participants receive a free fishing pole, tackle box, event T-shirt, cap, award plaque and lunch. A morning of fishing will be followed by a picnic lunch for all and an awards ceremony for the kids.

Volunteer boaters will be taking the kids out. Each child must be accompanied by a parent or guardian on the boat. If boat space allows, additional siblings and family members may be able to go boating as well; however, only participants and one parent or guardian are guaranteed to go boating.
