The plus of this is your helping our organization provide lodging, food, fish cleaning, and everything needed for us to run our events that are free to the heroes that attend. There are only 1000 tickets and winners are chosen by the Ohio Pick 3 evening drawing. To get your ticket just follow this link w4wh.com/store-home/ and after purchase the stub will be filled in and texted to you. Thanks to all who support us and remember we are a 100% volunteer organization so all donations go towards our events. ... See MoreSee Less

How can the prizes be determined after the winner is notified? 2-4 people. Should state how many on each date. Right or wrong that's my opinion.

One thing we sometimes hear from Heros is:

"But I don't have any injuries"

"There are more deserving people then me."

These statements are often made by the exact Heros we strive to help. It's not only the injuries that are seen that need healing, that are deserving, but also those injuries that are unseen and often times the ones that come with a stigma that addressing the unseen wounds lead to the Hero being of lesser strength.... Post Traumatic Stress is not only limited to those in the military either.

It's the EMT's who came upon the car accident that claimed a life of their community member.

It's the Police officer who had to come upon their community member during a murder investigation.

It's the Firefighter who got to the fire minutes late and had to bring a lifeless body out of the fire.

And everything in-between.

Today, for no other reason then to end the stigma, we ask that today you invest in yourself and go to our website and apply for our event.

It's far too often those strong Heros that are holding up the world, who do absolutely everything they can in any situation... on the outside they look unaffected... They need their cup filled too. Let us be an organization that you fall back on for some rest & relaxation. Let us properly say Thank You!! to the Heros that would never let us know they are processing trauma from their selfless service to others.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!

What better way to end the year than donating to a charity that has no paid staff, helps wounded heroes, and gives away 30 fishing trips in 1 month. W4WH "Fishing with a Friend" raffle gives you 30 chances at winning a day fishing for a fish that will highlight any family fish fry for just a $20 donation. Triple your chances for $50 for 3 tickets and it is based off the Ohio Pick 3 evening drawing so only 1000 tickets sold and we guarantee a winner. If you win we will put you in touch with your captain to arrange a day of walleye fishing along 2-6 of your favorite people. The number depends on which one of these giving captains you win as we have a variety from charter captains to pro fishermen. Visit w4wh.com/store-home/ to get your chances only a few hundred left.

I want to also say thanks to the captains that donate a day of fishing allowing us to hold this fundraiser for W4WH. If your looking to go on a walleye charter please pick from below and tell them you chose a captain that gives back.
