🎣 Reelin’ Hope: A Fishing Derby for Rural Veterans 📅 Saturday, November 8, 2025 📍 French Gulch Marina – Lake Isabella, CA 📧 [email protected] | 📱 Text/Call: (760) 614-1157 It’s Our Turn to Show Up. Support Rural Veterans in the Ways That Matter Most. Out here, it’s easy to feel forgotten. But the veterans in our rural towns—men and women who stood up for us—deserve more than silence and struggle. They deserve real support, in real time, with real people who understand. We’re raising funds to bring outdoor adventures, peer-led wellness gatherings, and boots-on-the-ground mental health services straight to the places veterans live. No red tape. No long waits. Just someone showing up when it matters most—with a fishing pole, a hot cup of coffee, or a quiet moment around the fire. Because they served us. Now it’s our turn to serve them. 🎟️ Ticket Info Adults (16+): $25 Children (Under 16): $15 (Aligned with CA fishing license age requirements) Day-of-Event: All tickets increase by $10 on November 8th.
