This event is also our big fundraiser for the year. The auction items and raffle tickets you purchase, combined with your generous donations, fund the club’s conservation and education activities. They allow us to continue to support important conservation and service organizations like the Western Rivers Conservancy, The Edmonds Stream Team (Students Saving Salmon), Project Healing Waters, Sound Salmon Solutions, and local habitat and water quality improvement projects.
Money raised also pays for our monthly speakers. Entertainment value aside, the knowledge, insight, and expert tips we receive from a curated roster of world-class fly fishers increase our chances of success on the water and allow us all to continually improve.
There are three ways you can support the fundraising drive: Buy raffle tickets. We will be drawing for hundreds of dollars worth of high quality items. Raffle tickets are $10 each. Buy four, five or more! Bid on auction items. Our finest items will be on display and go to the highest bidder at the end of the event. These include original art from Ray Spencer, Jon Lyman and Ray Gould fly rods, Winston and Loomis rods, Sisson handcrafted net, Randy White custom oak tying table, Peak tying vice, FishCat 4 boat, and much more. Proxy bidding is permitted. Over 50 items available. Cash Donations. Can’t make it to the event? Your generous donation will be gratefully accepted. Cash donations are tax deductible.
