The C.A.S.T. Foundation was formed in 1993 and received its nonprofit status (# 91-1582848) and charitable designation in the State of Washington and its IRS 501C(3) designation.

The C.A.S.T. for Kids event is an extraordinary outdoor occasion that teams sponsors and experienced anglers with area youngsters (ages 4-12) for a day of fishing enjoyment. Experienced anglers (boat captains) take disabled and disadvantaged children and respective parents/guardians out on boats for a couple of hours of fishing and fun. For many of these children, this event is their first opportunity to fish. After going fishing, everyone will enjoy a free lunch, and participating children and boat captains will receive awards and door prizes. Seeing the joy on the faces of the children who have participated in these events is a thrill that lasts a lifetime, both for the kids as well as for the captains.
Please complete the attached a registration form if you are interested. This will assist in tracking captains and respective children the day of the event.  Please note the registration deadline of March 30th, 2009. Please, complete the registration form and return it to the address or fax to:
