National Sponsors

Thank you for your interest in becoming a corporate sponsor of the C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation. Corporate sponsors are essential in helping the Foundation accomplish its mission. Through the generosity of businesses ranging from family-owned local enterprise to some of the world's largest corporation, we are able to help many children "Catch a Special Thrill." Making the C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation your primary charity will help your company achieve its social responsibility goals. Additionally, it would create a positive community among your staff members who would gain from volunteering at our events.

The C.A.S.T. for Kids is a program developed and run by grass roots weekend volunteer anglers. They are the demographic that all fishing industry sponsors and marketers are trying to reach!

Each partnership is tailored to meet the goals of all the parties involved and can include the following components:
• Financial Support – The ability of C.A.S.T. to create meaningful programs that will have a measurable, positive effect on
  children’s lives depends on direct financial support from individual and corporate donors.
• In-kind Donation – Our partners can create in-kind donation programs to share their products and services to the people and
  organizations that need them most.
• Volunteer – Volunteer programs not only give our partners greater exposure in the local community, but they also allow
  employees to actively support C.A.S.T. and its mission.
