While many of us are are quarantined at home and practicing social distancing, our frontline service workers are heading to work each day, putting themselves and their loved ones at-risk to help others in need and protect our communities.
As anglers, we are optimistic by nature. We recognize these are trying times, but we’ll get through it together. We also know the feeling of calm and rejuvenation that time spent on the water can bring someone.
That’s why Highway 3 Angler wants to partner with you to thank our frontline service workers by providing them the opportunity to enjoy time on the water with their loved ones this season.
Highway 3 Angler is seeking partners, individuals or businesses, to purchase a fly fishing float trip or a scenic float on a Susitna River tributary at a significant price reduction for our frontline service workers.
Here is how it works:
Purchase a fly-fishing float trip for two for $300 (regularly $500) or a scenic float for $225 (regularly $300) for a frontline service worker. Tell us if you have a specific type of frontline service worker you would like to receive the trip (medical, police, fire, food service, government, etc.) and we’ll use our contacts in those fields to identify a recipient. You may also tell us if there is a specific person, group, business or organization you’d like us to work with. As the gift giver, Highway 3 Angler will stay in touch with you throughout the process so you can be confident your dollars were used appropriately.
Each trip purchased enters you into a drawing for a Yeti Loadout Bucket, including Loadout Lid and Loadout Caddy. Who doesn’t need one of those?
Thank you for your support and for thinking of our frontline service workers during these unusual times. Stay safe and stay healthy. We’ll get out on the water together as soon as it is safe to do so.
