|
The Sgt. Tommy's Kids Family Fishing Day was created to teach children about the outdoors and get them excited about spending time outside. All children ages 3-15 are welcome to attend with their families and friends.
2025's signature event was held on Saturday, June 14th at Herrick Lake in Wheaton, IL. We were able to hand out over 350 fishing poles! Thank you to all of our sponsors, volunteers, and those who could attend! Please sign up below to keep up with the latest news on next year's event!
