Hero Fishing works to improve the lives and mental wellbeing of Military Veterans, First Responders, and Everyday Heroes

Hero Fishing provides educational, therapeutic and recreation programming, through fishing adventures, educational seminars and creating a family environment for all our Heroes, which come from all walks of life.

Numerous studies have shown that traumatic events not only effect the psychological structures of the self, but also the attachment and meaning that link individuals and their families together.

All our programs seek to restore those disconnects. They allow our Heroes a chance to have social interactions and bond with other fellow Heroes, while enjoying the sport of fishing.

A nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to the protection and enhancement of pheasants and the upland bird populations in North America.

The local chapter in Anoka County was founded amongst those upland hunters and sportsmen and women in your community in 1984. Our goal is to provide those avid outdoorsmen and women an opportunity to assist in the protection and enhancement of pheasants and other upland bird populations around the local area.

Pheasants Forever is the only national organization with a model of chapters keeping 100% of the funds they raise. While belonging to a larger national organization that has a voice on federal and state conservation policies, chapters are tasked with finding projects for their funds. Minnesota takes full advantage of this model using funds raised for projects locally as well as other areas in the state of Minnesota.

Three competitors, who qualify through a rigorous series of local and regional tournaments and then the national championship, advance to bass fishing’s biggest stage, The Bassmaster Classic.
