Our Mission

Casting for Courage is a Western New York charity fishing event held each August on Grand Island, bringing together families, sponsors, and volunteers in support of children fighting pediatric cancer. Hosted by Anchor Launch Club and Catching Dreams Fishing Charters, the day begins with a private morning fishing tournament for patient families and opens to the public in the afternoon on the water for live music, raffles, kids' activities, food, drinks, and a silent auction.

All proceeds benefit P.U.N.T. Pediatric Cancer Collaborative, Kaely's Kindness, and Catching Dreams Fishing Charters — three organizations doing real work for WNY kids and the families who love them. Whether you fish, sponsor, donate, or simply show up, your presence makes a difference.
