Casting For Kids canceled for 2020
Event to return in 2021
MADISON, Wis, - Mark Osiecki's third annual Casting for Kids, which was scheduled for May 30, has been cancelled due to concerns with COVID-19.
Headquartered for the first time at the Alliant Energy Center, the fishing event and silent and live auction was created to help raise funds for children fighting cancer at the University of Wisconsin American Family Children's Hospital and the Carbone Cancer Center.
"With all the uncertainty in the world in which we live, and after conversations with others involved, we've decided to reset and move this year's event to May 22, 2021, which is the weekend before Memorial Day," said event organizer and UW associate head men's hockey coach Mark Osiecki. "It will be back at Alliant Energy Center."
Having raised over $150,000 in its first two years, Casting For Kids raises money by asking local fishing guides to take participants out fishing, along with national and local celebrities, in a catch-and-release fishing rournament. A fundraising dinner with both silent and live auctions caps off the day.
Our event was created to help children who are fighting cancer at the nationally recognized University of Wisconsin American Family Children's Hospital / Carbone Cancer Center. Participants in our event share a passion for children, community involvement and fishing. We raise money by asking local fishing guides to take participants out fishing (including National and local celebrities) in a tournament format. In addition, the Casting for Kids event includes a fundraising dinner and both silent and live auctions with net proceeds being donated to the University of Wisconsin American Family Children's Hospital / Carbone Cancer Center.
Can't fish? Come join us for the dinner and auction at the Alliant Energy Center from 4:00PM to 8:00PM!
Only $50 Per Ticket
