Reel Recovery, a non-profit organization conducts free fly fishing-retreats for men battling cancer, is holding its 7th annual Spring Charity Bash to help raise money. The fundraising event will happen at Cafe Trio at 6405 South, 3000 East on Thursday, April 12 from 6-9pm.
The Reel Recovery Spring Charity Bash looks to be a fun event with wine tasting and education along with tasty hors d’oeuvres. There will also be a live and silent auction where you can bid on cool stuff with proceeds going toward Reel Recovery. The event will be hosted by the Salt Lake Tribune’s Brett Prettyman, an outdoor writer/columnist/blogger who also happens to be an avid fly fisherman.
Tickets for the Reel Recovery Spring Charity Bash are $40 per person. For tickets and event information, call 801-550-6654 or 1-800-699-4490.
According to the Reel Recovery website, the organization was founded in 2003 by a group of avid fly-fishers, inspired by their fishing buddy’s ongoing battle with brain cancer. After witnessing first-hand the beneficial impact fly-fishing provided their friend, they created Reel Recovery to provide the same opportunity for other men battling the disease. Combining expert fly-fishing instruction with directed “courageous conversations”, the organization provides men with all forms of cancer a unique opportunity to share their stories, learn a new skill, form lasting friendships and gain renewed hope as they confront the challenges of cancer.
