Daniel Hernandez Youth Foundation 4th Annual Kick-Off Fundraiser
#1
(Long Beach, CA) - The Seal Beach Yacht Club will be the location host for the 2009 Annual Fishing Season Kick-Off Party on Saturday, April 25, 2009. The MC for the evening will be TV fisherman Dan Hernandez, host of the long running TV show, Sport Fishing with Dan Hernandez and founder of the Daniel Hernandez Youth Foundation. The 2009 Fishing Season Kick-Off Party will provide fun, fish chat, fellowship and food for party goers and the proceeds will give hundreds of kids all over Southern California a chance to go fishing for free! Event highlights include a tasty barbeque dinner and hosted cocktail hour, as well as fishing seminars featuring long range sport fishing expert, Captain Andy Cates and fishing guide Mike Gardner. Both speakers will be talking about how-to catch more fish, their love of fishing as a kid and how important fishing has been to them in their lives.

Planned activities also include a raffle, silent auction and door prizes. Tickets for the event are $25 each, and are available through the Daniel Hernandez Youth Foundation web site www.danskids.com, or by calling (562) 865-3764.<br />
Garnering support from many diverse industries such as health care, sports, beverage, entertainment, restaurants, and angling, the Daniel Hernandez Youth Foundation is proud of their mission to provide kids with their first sport fishing experience. For many of the youngsters who participate in the foundation sponsored fishing events, their first sport fishing experience represents a rare opportunity to not only break their often stressful routine, but to also improve self esteem, and increase self-confidence while learning new skills.<br />
Founded in 2001, the Daniel Hernandez Youth Foundation provides outreach services to the youth of Southern California by providing free fishing opportunities through foundation fishing events. Over the years, the foundation has hosted more than 100 fishing events with two unique approaches. The first, known as, "Meet Me at The Lake," are events held in urban park lakes in conjunction with the Los Angeles City, County Parks Department and the California Department of Fish &amp; Game.. The other, "Open Ocean Adventure," is half day sport fishing charter boat events. Collectively, these events have reached over 20,500 kids and their families. Support for these events comes from volunteer efforts as well as partnerships within the sport fishing industry.<br />
