I wanted to send up an alert to something MS and I chatted about a week ago. I am in the process of doing some will planning and I called Mark to see if he had any interest in a Youth Foundation.

I live in the Rocky Mountains; my boys fly fish and have no passion for the deep blue water and tuna. My tackle inventory is above modest in value and I want to ensure that Youth get a chance to enjoy the adventure of an over night trip or longer. I am thinking about donating all my gear to a yet to be established Charkbait Foundation for Youth of single parents who have a desire to fish.

My gear will be available to be sold and start a Foundation or maintained for use by the Youth that the Foundation would sponsor each year.

I would like to have some ideas of any or all that may be interested in participating. Nothing is formalized so input would be welcomed.

Not to take anything away from Charkbait of course, but have you heard of the Friends of Rollo? http://www.friendsofrollo.com/
That is right up their alley.

TD,

yes, I am aware of the F of Rollo Foundation but have a 10 year relationship with Charkbait. You may be up to a great idea though and I appreciate the input.

Do you know any one on the board at the F of Rollo?

the friends of rollo are good people.
