The AFC, parents, kids, volunteers and community organizers would like to thank the following statewide sponsors for their support of our Fish Earth Day Hook Kids on Fishing events:

• Fish Florida – who gave us the rods and reels and tackle boxes. The Fish Florida license plates have provided the funds for the tackle. Next time you need a license plate, buy a Fish Florida plate.
• Coastal Angler Magazine – advertising and spreading the word about the event
• Aylesworth Bait and Tackle – supplied the bait for many of the events throughout the state
• Daiichi Hooks who donated all the red hooks we used at the events
• Mud Hole Custom Tackle who printed the new Hook Kids on Fishing booklet called The Path of the Enlightened Anglers.
• Florida Outdoor Writers Association – who advertised and wrote about our program throughout Florida
• StriperOnLine for funds needed for working the events

 
Locally, the sponsors did the registration, supplied the locations, volunteered, and donated bait, tackle, food and finances. Friendships, fishing and fun for the kids, parents and community – we were all winners!! Special thanks to:
