Catch A Dream is an organization that takes children with life threatening illnesses hunting or fishing to fulfill their life dream

the fundraiser has been going great. we just did a fundraiser called Harvest For Life. we went around asking local farmers if they were willing to donate some soybeans the the money earned would be donated to charity.  we ended up collecting almost 500 bushels plus we had farmers right checks and the farmers we didnt get to planned on transfering beans over to our school account at the elevator.  so lets say we get 500 bushels total after they transfer.  according to colfax elevator website the price is $10.27/bushel of beans right now so if we were to sell the beans right now we would earn $5,135 and i know the price is always changing so we would end up with about $5,000 dollars from beans plus we got a few hundred $'s in checks and we have over $600 from our raffles at sporting events so we have about somewhere around $6,000 right now.  

it cost $3,500 to pay for a trip for a catch a dream participate.  the money pays for everything including taxidermy fee, expense for the entire direct family.  so we now have almost enough money to pay for 2 trips.  and the fundraising is just getting started.

there are no certain regions or states. we are just collecting money and gonna send it to the foundation if you are willing to donate i can give you information and we can add it to our total. or if you are willing to donate anything that could be a prize for a raffle that would be great, or if you have a fundraising idea would also be greatly appreciated.

if you know anyone who is eligible, 18 years old and younger who has a life threatening illness and wishes to fulfill a hunting or fishing related dream you can tell them about the organization and they can apply to fulfill their dream.

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask
