Team Searcher is dedicated to supporting our local fishing community, including the efforts of the San Diego Anglers Foundation. Earlier this year we donated a trip to their annual banquet to help raise funds for their critical programs, like Warriors on the Water. This program provides disabled military personnel the opportunity to reconnect with their families through an adaptive, community based recreation experience – saltwater fishing! Learn more about the program below, and consider donating to this worthy cause.
About the Program:
“In partnership with the Armed Services YMCA San Diego and the Department of Defense, the San Diego Anglers Foundation is proud to offer free of charge saltwater fishing adventures to disabled military personnel and their families.” This program is “an adaptive, community based outdoor recreation experience, and gives [service members] extra therapeutic support during their recovery period.”
“Numerous studies have shown that traumatic events not only affect the psychological structures of the self, but also the attachment and meaning that link individuals and their families. This program seeks to restore those disconnects, allowing military members a chance to have social interactions and bond with family members, while enjoying the sport of fishing.”
