Mark you calendars. It’s time once again for the Anglers for Conservation Orlando Gumbo Wars scheduled on October 24, 2015 at the Fish on Fire Restaurant in Orlando, Florida. AFC Orlando Chapter is currently planning their annual fundraiser featuring both silent and live auctions, raffles and giveaways with all proceeds benefiting the AFC’s Hook Kids on Fishing Program and other local youth fishing and outdoor charities. This fun filled family event features over 25 Gumbo Teams and is promoted and sponsored by Fishing Florida Radio, Coastal Angler Magazine Orlando and other Central Florida fishing community partners and local fishing clubs.
Together in the last four years the event raised over $60,000.00 allowing their charities to purchase fishing rods, reels and tackle for children and provide scholarships for young anglers. Thanks to your generous support they have introduced thousands of children and their parents to fishing and the outdoors, providing them with free fishing tackle and equipment after completing their Hook Kids on Fishing Program. The AFC is an all-volunteer 501(c) (3) non-profit organization with a primary goal of creating a new generation of angling stewards through their Hook Kids on Fishing Programs held throughout the state of Florida. It is the AFC’s goal to create responsible anglers through education and their use, don’t abuse philosophy. They strongly feel the more people utilizing our outdoors resources responsibly, the move value those resources are for all of us.
AFC Orlando is again appealing to their outdoor fishing industry family to help provide free fishing equipment and tackle for these kids. “We’re hoping we can count on you for a donation for our auction or raffles items to help us generate the funds needed to expand our reach in 2016” said Steve Chapman, co-host of the Fishing Florida Radio Show. Again, all proceeds will be utilized by Anglers for Conservation and other local charities to help introduce our youth to the outdoors and fishing, .
