Walleye for Kids Announces New Date

 

Walleye for Kids, an annual fishing tournament benefiting Wigs for Kids, has announced a new date for this year’s competition. The tournament will begin on Saturday, May 17th with a Blow Date of Saturday May 24th, with weigh in starting at 4:00 pm.

There will be a dinner of pulled pork sandwiches followed by a raffle.
Fishermen have gathered together for the past 8 years to participate in Walleye for Kids, raising thousands of dollars to benefit children with medical related hair loss. Mike, the organizer of the event, has a son who is a Wigs For Kids recipient. Mike’s son Austin is a burn survivor, and has had many hospital stays, surgeries and medical appointments over the years. Due to his burns, he lost most of his hair and will not have regrowth for the remainder of his life. Mike shared that his son Austin is the reason for Walleye for Kids.

For more information, visit the Walleye for Kids Facebook page.

 

Fundraisers like this help Wigs For Kids to provide hand-tied hairpieces to children experiencing medical hair loss at no cost to their families. Each year, we help hundreds of children regain their confidence while dealing with medical issues.

Any contribution can make a huge impact to support our mission. If you are ready to help children look themselves and live their lives, please make a donation.
