FISHING FOR ALL ABILITIES

DONATE

Meet Danny, one of our Lucky and Blessed Fishing "Family participants" and we just love his smile and passion for fishing! Danny, like many other neurodivergent and differently abled kids, never had the opportunity to experience the wonderful and therapeutic adventure of fishing and with LABF it's now possible! Danny is now catching a bunch of fish on monthly adventures with LABF and even better, we are building relationships with him and his Mom through ongoing adventures at beautiful local parks and just recently, fishing out on the Chesapeake Bay!

Sponsor an LABF Family for ONLY $25 (Tax deductible): Your donation will help us provide therapeutic life changing fishing adventures, that they may never have had the opportunity to experience until now! In addition, we would like to provide LABF hats, t-shirts, swag and fishing combos for all of our participants and your tax deductible contribution will help us create an extra special "Lucky and Blessed" Experience for our new families with neurodivergent and differently abled kids and youth!

Be Part of LABF's Impact: LABF's programs have already impacted over 300 individuals with disabilities in 5 counties in Maryland and we would love to partner with YOU, so you can be part of our life changing mission of inclusion, mentoring and community through an LABF Family Fishing Sponsorship!

SUMMER CAMP SPONSORSHIPS

Lucky and Blessed Fishing is partnering with parks in Anne Arundel County and Southern Maryland to provide Summer Fishing Camps for ALL abilities and ages!

We were recently connected with an amazing partner in Greenwell Foundation that will be hosting and providing access for bank, kayak and boat fishing for Southern Maryland attendees! Greenwell Foundation is located on Greenwell State Park and will also be providing space to gather and eat lunch with our Campers! Anne Arundel County locations TBD.

Why Fishing Works as a Therapeutic Activity:

Fishing's slow pace, repetitive motions, and focus on a clear goal (catching fish) make it especially suitable for individuals with diverse needs. It encourages patience, concentration, and a sense of achievement, all while promoting relaxation. By making fishing accessible, these camps empower participants, create inclusive communities, and nurture lifelong connections to nature and each other!

Sponsor an LABF Camper for ONLY $100 (Tax deductible): Your donation will cover the cost for one differently abled LABF Camper to participate in a 3-day Fishing Camp Experience!

Day One: Introduction to Fishing and Fishing from the Park Pier

Day Two: Introduction to Kayaking and after lunch... Kayak Fishing

Day Three: Boat Fishing with LABF Charter & Private Boat Captains

Lunch and other outdoor activities will be included!

LABF WORKFORCE INITIATIVE

Meet Michael, one of our LABF volunteers that actually came to us as a client of one of our Community Partners, Bay Community Services! We noticed an incredible passion for both fishing and people when Michael came out with his group for the first time and he immediately jumped in and started helping his community friends catch fish!

Michael has had many life challenges between losing his Dad when he was very young and his Mom to a drug overdose when he was a teen, and he also had some very difficult times in the foster care system growing up. Having a disability and the lack of opportunities has kept Michael from finding and keeping a job that he actually enjoys and is good at. Please join us by providing a donation to help cover the cost of moving Michael and three other LABF volunteers with disabilities to paid Staff in 2025!

Sponsor an LABF Workforce Staffer - $2000/mth ($500/mth per Staff): Your donation of as little as $50, will help us provide part-time employment for 4 differently abled LABF Volunteers in Maryland! In addition to Michael, we have 3 other Workforce candidates that currently volunteer with LABF that we would like to hire, so let's get all four of these amazing LABF Volunteers hired and change their lives forever!

Thanks in advance for joining our mission to get everyone fishing!
