Community Activities

We are making a difference by teaming up to participate in the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life.

At the event, our team will camp out overnight and take turns walking around the track to raise money and awareness to help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

Other Club Activities

The funds collected either via membership fees or via their cut of each tournnment entry fee are used for various donations.

In the past, there have been donations made:

Kettle Falls Youth Center
Kettle Falls Food Bank.
EMT’s/first responders in Stevens and Ferry Counties,
Helping 4-H build a dock at Lake Thomas. (The club recieved an award from the state).

This year, some of the proceeds are going towards improvements on the gazebo at Happy Dell Park.

Two years ago, the entire proceeds from that tourney went to Casey McKern, a local young man who suffered a serious neck injury. Another fishing tournament has come about in his name, the Ball & Chain Fishing Tournament.

In the past, in conjunction with the Spokane Walleye Club and the Shiner’s, disabled children and their parents/guardians were taken out for a day of fishing. These usually took place at either Deer Lake or Waitts Lake. The children not only got to enjoy a day out fishing, but got to keep a hat, t-shirt and tackle box, not to mention whatever fish they caught. This was a program that was started by Jim Owens from Seattle. There also used to be a casting contest at Lake Ellen yearly partnered with the Forest Service, with a breakfast as well.

During one of the Governor’s Cups, Professor Schultz, a biologist contacted the club about partnering with them to do some research. Students of the Professor were in the ‘weigh’ boats with the club members. When the competitors brought their catch up to the boats for measuring, the students took vital statistics on the fish, tagged them and released them.
