CENTERVILLE —
Want to go fishing for 24 hours straight and at the same time raise money for a local water project and for the Recycled Fish Foundation?
Well, that's what team Rathbun Crappie Crushers members Randy, Mary, Chris, Randi and Josie Mulay, of Centerville, will be doing Sept. 7-8 at Lelah Bradley Park reservoir during the Recycled Fish's 2012 Recycled Fish-A-Thon. Randy said this is the first time his team has participated.
"It's a pretty good non-profit organization," Randy said, adding he has had other involvements with the group. "I think they've done this, if I'm not mistaken, this is the third or fourth year."
Recycled Fish Foundation is a nonprofit organization and all donations are tax deductible. To learn more about Recycled Fish Foundation and the 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon go to www.recycledfish.org.
Randy said half of all the money donated to sponsor his team will go back to help make repairs to handicapped boat dock or for other items at Lelah Bradley Park in Centerville that need attention and the other 50 percent will go to Recycled Fish Foundation to help them achieve their mission.
"It's a really good program," Randy said.
Anyone wanting to donate money to Rathbun Crappie Crushers can get the necessary paperwork by calling Randy at (641) 895-9459, email him at carcrazy200@hotmail.com, mail send to Randy Mulay, 1229 S. Ninth St., Centerville 52544 or go to www.recycledfish.org.
The Mulay's will join other teams in Iowa and across the United States as they compete against one another to catch fish, release, earn prizes and raise money to preserve and improve the country's lakes and streams.
According to the Recycled Fish Foundation website, the Recycled Fish 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon is anglers fishing around the clock around the country to raise awareness for the problems facing our fisheries, lakes, streams and seas. From pollution to invasive species, over-harvest and over-consumption of water, many of the main issues in our waters come from problems in our broader environment.
