Bass Unlimited Foundation Banquet

Friday, August 05, 2016

The Bass Unlimited Foundation banquet will be held in Terre Haute on August 20th and tickets are on sale now.

The mission of Bass Unlimited is to provide resources for conservation, preservation and restoration of fish populations in public accessible waters for anglers of today and future generations.

The annual banquet is a “celebration amongst anglers and conservationists with one common interest in protecting out fish,” says Wil Newlin of Bass Unlimited.  The banquet will include a dinner and many auctions, both silent and live, as well as a raffle for fundraising for the foundation. 

“One of the great things about the money we raise is that 80% of the proceeds stay in that state and the remaining 20% is for the foundation overhead.  The foundation is entirely supported by volunteers,” adds Newlin.

Some of the raffle and auction prizes include:

• Lew’s rod and reel combinations ranging from the beginner level to the professional
• Multiple art pieces created by excellent artists depicting bass and fishing themes
• A half day guided trip with FLW Tour pro Bill McDonald
• A Bill McDonald jersey
• Embroidered Bass Unlimited hand towels
• A 30 minute photo session for family photos
• USA Bassin two person team memberships
• Olive Garden Terre Haute gift certificates
• and more!

“This is going to be a fun event with dinner and camaraderie. We are expanding and hope to have even more banquets next year.  If you are interested in helping out the organization and becoming involved, please check out our website bassunlimited.org and contact us,” Newlin adds.
