4th annual Walleyes For Warriors a huge success!!!
We have, once again, completed a successful Walleyes For Warriors event! This year, we had over 115 boat captains and 1st mates take over 225 Veterans out on the Saginaw Bay. Weather-wise, it was a bit windy but that didn't stop our Veterans from bringing back in 1,058 walleye in just 6 hours of fishing! As usual, our fish cleaning volunteers did an incredible job cleaning the fish and getting them bagged up for the Veterans to take home with them. The Veterans and boat crews were treated to boxed lunches and a catered dinner by Soaring Eagle Casino and Saganing Eagles Landing Casino.
Thank you to each of our Veterans for taking part in this year's event! Also, thank you to our sponsors! Without you, we wouldn't be able to give our Veterans the THANK YOU and WELCOME HOME they deserve! Finally, thank you to our boat captains, 1st mates and volunteers! Whether you were taking our Veterans out on your boat, helping them reel in a fish, or setting up tables and chairs, each and every one of you helped make WFW 2014 a memorable one for everyone who was involved in this year's event!
If you're interested in joining next year's event, please check back here at walleyesforwarriors.com, our Facebook page, or our Twitter feed in early 2015!

2014 Proceeds for WFW to go to Operation Injured Soldier
Again in 2014, Walleyes For Warriors is partnering with Operation Injured Soldier. Leftover proceeds from the 2014 Walleyes For Warriors event will go to OIS to help with one of their many worthwhile Veteran programs.
Operation Injured Soldier is a non profit organization, operated by volunteers that stand by our injured veterans. We believe that our injured vets have suffered very traumatic injuries while serving our country, some physical and some hidden deep inside. We offer our vets a chance to do the things that they thought was no longer possible after their injuries, such as hunting, fishing, and sporting events. With specialized hunting equipment, we can send amputees in the fields for hunts, with donated fishing boats and captains, we can also take them fishing.
When groups of injured vets attend these events, they find a common bond that allows them to talk to one another about their experiences, many have commented on how it has helped them move forward. When our injured vets go on these hunting and fishing events, it helps them realize that they still can do these things and that we all appreciate the sacrifices they have made for our country.
To learn more about Operation Injured Soldier, please click on the link below to explore their website or call (248) 437-1144.
