"Contender’s” Maiden Voyage – 8/26 & 8/27 Trips
Kids & Fishing’s New Boat donated by Charles & Carmen Brown,
owners of Brown Bros. Auto Body & Paint Shop
Remember your first time on the ocean? On Thursday and Friday, August 26th & 27th, thirteen teenagers from the Los Angeles Conservation Corps’ Clean & Green environmental work and service program will have the opportunity to catch their first fish, be the captain of a boat, learn about navigation and boat safety, and maybe see a whale or two. Contender departs C-10 dock in King Harbor Marina (next to Sea Lab) at 8:45 am.
Redondo Beach based, Kids & Fishing is an all volunteer environmental nonprofit organization that educates and expands young inspired minds from the inner-city through marine awareness.
“Our goal is to produce conscientious citizens and reward them with a memorable experience,” explained Kids & Fishing’s Founder, John Sakacs. Our sponsors’ generous donations and participation has allowed us to expose school-age children to the magnificence of marine life and the wonders of the Pacific Ocean. I am overwhelmed by their generosity and commitment to our program.”
A very special thanks to Flying Cloud Yachts in Long Beach and the Brown Family for helping us to get our kids on our new boat and the ocean this summer!
