On behalf of the Board of Directors – THANK YOU. We couldn’t be more grateful for your continued support.
As we approach the end of another remarkable year, it's time to reflect on the profound impact we've collectively achieved. Nearly a decade ago, in 2014, Fly Fishing Collaborative (FFC) was established with a visionary mission: to mobilize the fly fishing and outdoor community to create sustainable solutions to poverty & human trafficking.
We want to start by thanking you for making 2023 an impactful year! It's been a landmark year for FFC, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
I want to express gratitude on behalf of our board of directors for your invaluable contribution to the Fly Fishing Collaborative. Your dedication has been instrumental in creating sustainable solutions to combat poverty and human trafficking. In 2023, your efforts have made a profound impact, showcasing the power of collaboration.
Our 9th Annual Live Auction & Banquet will take place on Saturday, March 2nd, 2024, at the Portland Golf Club in Oregon. This event serves as our primary fundraiser to support the incredible work of creating sustainable solutions to poverty and human trafficking. We hope you can make it! Stay tuned for more information and details on ticket purchases, coming soon.

Kids Fishing Day is one of the great ways we engage with the next generation. Some of our events focus on serving kids who are part of the local foster care system, while others are open to all. Our next KFD is open to everyone, and we can't wait to see the joy on their faces as we help them land some big fish!
