(Bay City) The 4th Annual Walleyes for Warriors Veterans Charity Benefit is scheduled for June 14-15, 2014 in Bay City, Michigan. This benefit provides returning veterans an opportunity to fish on the Saginaw Bay at no charge. It’s our way of saying “thank you” and “welcome home” to those who have sacrificed for our country.
“It feels so good it hurts – it makes a guy emotional,” said Cianek, 96, who was the oldest World War II veteran fishing at the Walleyes For Warriors. event. “It’s always fun when you go with your buddies.”
Walleyes for Warriors is actively seeking volunteer boat captains for this charity event. Volunteer boat captains must be willing to donate their boat, gas, personal time and fishing expertise to veterans participating in the charity event. Interested boat captains may register by visiting www.walleyesforwarriors.com
Proceeds from the Walleyes for Warriors events are donated to Operation Injured Soldier that supports veterans’ programs across the region.
Veterans interested in participating in this year’s event will find the 2014 Veterans Registration form on the website in early April.
