Fish For a Wish
Lake Almanor Peninsula
A.J. Casella, 18, began organizing Fish For A Wish, an annual tournament on the Lake Almanor Peninsula, at a very young age. A.J. was inspired to do so after the loss of his friend John. A.J. saw how John’s wish provided a much-needed break from the ordeal he and his family were enduring and decided he wanted to raise money to help “Make-A-Wish” grant wishes to more seriously ill children.
Now 18 and attending University of Southern CA, A.J. is still committed to the event, now in its 7th year. In the past six years the event has raised over $200,000 for the cause.
The event takes place Saturday ~ August 6th at Big Cove Resort and begins at 6 am with a weigh-in scheduled for 12 pm at 442 Peninsula Drive Lake Almanor, Ca 96137 530-596-3349. Call for information or visit BigCoveResort.com and click on events for more details.
