Description
We hold a freewill donation fish fry. We will have live and silent auctions along with raffles. The money raised goes to offset the cost of sending paralyzed veterans on a weeklong fishing trip to Veterans on the Lake Resort in Ely MN. This event raises the funds to sponsor the veterans and their caregivers. Each sponsorship is approx. $500 each. The fishing trip gives the veterans the opportunity to have a week to be "normal".
