The "Catch A Special Thrill" (C.A.S.T.) for Kids Foundation is a public charity formed in 1991. Our mission is to join volunteers who love to fish with people with special needs for a day of fishing in the outdoors. The Foundation was granted 501(c)3 status in 1994 and currently hosts three programs; C.A.S.T. for Kids, Fishing Kids, and Take A Warrior Fishing.The C.A.S.T. for Kids Program is designed to create an environment where special needs children and their caretakers can leave their problems on shore and sharing a day of fun and fishing on the water that they may not otherwise get to experience. The charity furthers its mission by increasing awareness of disabled and disadvantaged children in communities and teaching appreciation for natural resources. This is all made possible through the cooperation of government agencies, national and local sponsors, and local interest groups, and creates a rare and positive experience for America's youth.Established in 2011, the Take A Warrior Fishing Program is designed to support military personnel and their families. This program specifically targets individuals assigned to Warrior Transition Commands, and creates an adaptive community-based outdoor recreation experience through the sport of fishing. The main goals of this program are to restore that disconnect by increasing family interaction, encouraging outdoor recreation, and supporting positive, social interactions that help transitioning service members rebuild connections with the civilian world. The Fishing Kids Program was developed to introduce and engage urban youth in the sport of fishing. The Fishing Kids Program is built around the slogan, "Getting more kids fishing, more often," and is designed to create and provide more fishing opportunities for urban youth.The foundation headquarters is located in Salem, Oregon.
