Casey put me down to donate a trip for the cause .

Josh im not tryin ta preach but god will not bring you to something that he cannot bring you out of. He constantly looks down upon us with love and compassion. Lifes many trials n tribulations are to get our eyes n hearts focused back onto him. May god bless you and your beautiful family all the days of your lives. Call if i can ever help. Also im down with the tourney n supporting the local charity!!!!!

Let me know what needs to be done. I need ideas, don't know how to go about doing this.

Josh, I am all over this with prayers. I don't quite know what you are going through but I can imagine. If you need to talk about it or just go out and fish over here on the east, let me know. Getting away for a minute will do you a lot of good.

Casey,
I will definitely be willing to donate a fly fishing trip over here on the east side for this benefit.

[blackmamba]

My family will keep your family in our prayers. I have something to donate to the auction as well, Casey. I will pm you some time today.

Guys, I can vouch for the Center. Full disclosure: Christy Papania Jones - who founded the center - is family. She is a local teacher who has created a unique center that specializes in caring for a very underserved population of children. You will not meet a more professional, caring, educated person. I think it is a great idea to support a local non-profit that is completely dedicated to caring for our children with special needs.

I showed her this thread, and she has offered to give a tour of her facility to anyone interested in learning what they do. Here is the url:

When people sign up we can have a fish for Eli pot..

$10 Per person and the Red with the most spots wins a prize
It dont have to be a red in your two limit for weight in

We can maybe get a rod and reel donated combo from one of our sponsors on the site to the winner

And I sure a few of us and get the winner Red mounted for Eli at Steven Germans

and have a donation pot

Put this in the tournament discussion. See how it goes.
I'm in.
We got plenty of rods donated. Just need a reel to make a combo.

I personally think soliciting sponsors for a rod n reel and other prizes for this Redfish tournament is inappropriate. There have been some step up and offer prizes and that's a great thing.

Our big event is the 2012 Saltycajun tournament and that's the money maker. I don't think it's appropriate to solicit sponsors now and then we are knocking on their door 2 months from now for our big charity event.

I also think that any solicitation of sponsers should be done with Casey's approval. He is ultimately the one that has a contract with them.

I saw several people dig deep in their pockets to help at the 2011 saltycajun tournament but I saw a few of our members sitting there with out a single raffle ticket and that's their decision.

I would like to see our prizes directed towards the 2012 saltycajun tournament. Just my opinion.

What ever..I was just throwing up an idea.......

We already have 4 rods donated.
We can use one for the Red with most spots.
Unless the sponsors want them only for the kids prizes.
I don't think they would mind one going for a good cause.
One of the rod donors is not a sponsor, so we can use one of their rods.
They just want their rods and name to get out there.
We are also getting some other prizes from non sponsors.
When I get home next week and get all the prizes together, some of us
can get together over some beers and decide what to do.

That would work.....Hell if we cant get a reel..Ill buy one to donate if need be...

This is not a Saltycajun event so Its really open to do what we want in form of getting prizes and such

Also even though a few sponsors or on this site....They also have sponsors me in events which I have ties to them also and good relationships....
