This year’s BIG 3 Challenge, held on July 10 from 5 to 10 p.m., will encompass a fun spirited day of fishing for those who can safely fish while adhering to the state’s social gathering guidelines and restrictions. Please join us in spirit in honor of the kids and families we serve. The BIG 3 contributes to nearly 40% of the agency’s annual operating budget and, with your help, we can lessen the impact of COVID-19 on our mission and continue to serve as many kids on the Cape and Islands as possible. Please consider sponsoring this challenge if you are in a position to give. Many of our supporters plan to safely fish on July 10 in honor of the kids and families we serve. If you are interested in learning more about participating in this fun spirited day of fishing, please reach out to Christa Danilowicz at [email protected] or by calling 617-447-4578.
