Last year’s Fishing to Hear Rodeo was a huge success! We were greatly blessed with the large amounts of participants and sponsors. As a result, we were able to raise ~85,000k.   But another miracle happened just weeks after the surgery for Kyle. We received an invoice that was paid in full for our surgery. A prior glitch in the computer system rendered us an approval from our insurer to cover the surgery. Due to their mistake, they agreed to honor it by covering our costs. The second surgery is still not covered by most insurers. We have decided to take this miracle blessing and continue our mission to help other families. We have since donated half of the proceeds to the New Orleans Oral School and the rest went to our Fishing To Hear Foundation. This year, we plan on helping yet another child to pay for his/her 2nd cochlear implant. We hope with your help, we’ll be able to increase our surplus to help more than one child this year.
 
Our goal is to sell 5000 raffle tickets this year. Your chances of winning a fishing trip for 4 will be greatly increased as we are giving away 30 free trips this year! Keep checking our site for updates as the number of free trips may increase with more captains joining our efforts!
 
Also, this year….. We will be adding an inshore division! Inshore Captains and Offshore Captains will be vying for ultimate bragging rights in this great cause! Be a part of some great and intense fishingBuy your raffle tickets now.
 
Thanks again for your participation and we hope to see you there!
