It is one of our favorite times of the year again: Fall,
football and our annual charity event Take-A-Kid-Fishing Day.
Take-A-Kid-Fishing Day is so dear to our hearts because it
is geared toward helping the local children of Destin and we watch the results
unveil right before our eyes on our very own docks. Underprivileged kids from the
surrounding areas hop on Destin’s finest charter boats and spend a magnificent
day fishing the beautiful waters of the Gulf. The majority of these kids have
never been out on the water before.
We have been hosting this event for the past 19 years and
with each year it has grown with tremendous success. Last year we had 57 of
Destin’s charter boats donate their time and crew to help make the event
happen. This year we have 350 spots for children and chaperones alike.
The schedule of the day will kick off with donuts and orange
juice on the Big Deck at Harbor Docks at 7 a.m. All children and chaperones will board the
boats at 8 a.m. and set out to fish until 12:30pm. After the boats return to
Harbor Docks, we will treat the families and children to a fish fry! All the
kids who participate receive a tshirt, fishing rod and reel.
If you or someone you know is interesting in chaperoning or
participating, call Harbor Docks between 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday
and ask for Jackie, Gina or Becky. Pre-registration is required, so get on
board while there are still spots open!
We are so thrilled about this upcoming day and hope to see
everyone there!
