A little angler asked us today, “When’s the next fishing derby?
I wanna go again!”
And that spark — that pure kid excitement — is exactly why we do this.

Guess what, kiddo… it’s almost time!
And this year has been something special.
We’ve celebrated 10 years of giving back to our kids, lifted up America’s 250th, and now we’re heading into a milestone moment:
