Clay perfectly exemplifies the purpose and potential of C.A.S.T. for Kids of providing disabled and disadvantaged children the opportunity to enjoy a quality outdoor recreational experience as well as increasing the awareness of all participants to the capabilities of children with disabilities. Clay was introduced to fishing through a program similar to those conducted by C.A.S.T. for Kids when he was a child. From that early introduction to fishing, Clay through hard work and determination has achieved his dream.
More importantly, Clay regularly shares his inspirational story with others to assist them in overcoming the obstacles in their lives. Clay not only shares his time, he also shares his resources. Clay contributes a portion of his proceeds to C.A.S.T. for Kids to further its mission of increasing awareness of disabled and disadvantaged children in our communities and teaching appreciation for natural resources.
C.A.S.T. for Kids, organized in 1991, conducts 44 events annually in 22 states and in Mexico. To learn more about CAST for kids, please visit their website at www.castforkids.org
