As summer is slowly winding down, we want to take some time to reflect on the successful summer we have had!

🎣Adam Geiger Fishing Event: in June, we were able to take out over 70+ participants fishing on the Missouri River with the help of 20+ volunteered boats. We successfully caught enough fish to fill 51 gallon bags and captured limitless smiles!

🌊Water Skiing Event at Nelson Lake: we partnered with NDAD to assist over 40 people to water ski, with several skiing more than once!

🥎McQuades T-Shirt Sales: a HUGE thank you to those who volunteered to help sell t-shirts at the McQuades Softball Tournament. Our very own secretary, JR, was recognized and inducted into the McQuades Hall of Fame for his dedication and altruism for volunteering. We are so THANKFUL for all his hard work, passion & dedication to our organization.

🎣Fishing Has No Boundaries (Devils Lake) and Adaptive Fishing (Lake Sakakawea, Van Hook Resort): we had the opportunity to assist with two different adaptive fishing events and help provide several people the experience of fishing!

⚓Brady Samson Water Sport Day: we spent the day at Lake Metigoshie with Prairie Grit Adaptive Sports to help take several people water skiing!

Although the summer is winding down, we still have several events coming up at the end of summer and this fall. Take a peak below!
