Founded in 2004, Fishing For Life has spent more than a decade serving youth, families, veterans, and communities through fishing and outdoor programs. To create opportunities for relationships, our 501(c)(3) non-profit organization uses hands-on fishing events, outdoor programs and mentoring to impact the lives of youth, single parent families, and military veterans throughout Minnesota and surrounding states. These programs range from customized youth and family events, men’s and women’s groups, veteran’s programs, and one-on-one mentorship. Over the years, Fishing For Life has reached thousands of youths, families, and veterans and hopes to continue to grow its positive impact in our community.

On March 11th Fishing For Life will hold our annual Fundraising Gala.  This year’s theme is Count Your Blessings…Not Your Fish. What does that mean to you? To us it is a chance to slow down and be grateful for the abundance we all have in our daily lives, in our work lives, in our families, in the people we surround ourselves with, and of course in our outdoor activities. To count the blessings of making a difference in the lives of others. To count the blessings of bringing peace to a veteran and knowledge and opportunity to our youth.

We are currently seeking donations for our upcoming 18th annual fundraising event and auction on Saturday, March 11, 2023, at the North Heights Lutheran Church in Arden Hills, MN.  Please consider making a donation of an item or service? Suggested donations include hotel stays, transportation, restaurant gift certificates, store or service gift certificates, sports memorabilia, sporting goods, tickets for entertainment, cultural or sporting events, gift baskets, and anything else you or your business can share.
