Casting For Kids 2012

We have developed a foundation called The Palliative Care Foundation of Baton Rouge. The foundation was setup to provide assistance to those that are affected by a life limiting illness. The fundraiser we are currently hosting is a kayak and boating fishing tournament , called Casting for Kids that will be held in Leeville, LA July 21, 2012. The purpose of Casting for Kids fundraiser is to raise money to help children and those affected by a life limiting illness. All the money that is raised will go to help fund any burial services, medical equipment, medications, supplies and/or any other medical care that insurance will not cover or the family cannot afford. The donations received from the fundraiser may also go towards toys, books, educational videos, granting a child's last wish, summer camps, or even a last family vacation that maybe the family could not have done on their own. Our goal and mission is to never turn a child away because of their inability to pay.
