Serve Your Community with Your Boat w/video

Besides the occasional local river cleanup, how often do you really get an opportunity to utilize your boat to serve your community?  The Paralyzed Veterans of America organization holds several bass tournaments across the country in which they pair an able-bodied boater with a disabled angler for a two day fishing event.  The first day of the event the disabled vet is in solo competition with the other veterans for significant prizes.  The second day the vet and the boat captain compete as a team for cash prizes.  Want to join in the fun and service to those who gave up so much for us?  Check out the PVA.org website for more info.

This month’s tournament, the Paralyzed Veterans of America Citrus Slam Bass Tournament on Lake Toho, is currently running short of able-bodied boaters.  The tournament is scheduled for April 14^th and 15^th and is about 30 boats and boaters short.  The cost is $50, which includes lunch, drinks and ice on both days plus an awards dinner.  Follow this link for more info on the Citrus Slam.

Check out a video of one of the PVA Bass events back in 2010 after the jump.
