What We Do
We organize free fishing tournaments and offer the opportunity for Warriors to fish anytime and anywhere throughout the year. We host several events every year in the spring and fall. The ultimate goal is to offer events throughout the State of NC, in both fresh and saltwater, and maybe expand to the SE United States. TAWF also offers a portal where the military community, living anywhere in the US, can submit their name throughout the year and be lined up with a fisherman that can take them fishing at any time.
Our essence lies in understanding the profound impact of a fishing trip – the peace, the camaraderie, and the shared memories. Through every boat ride and fishing event, we aim to offer a slice of relaxation and appreciation to our military heroes, because “Fishing Heals.”
For us, every fishing trip is a tribute, every catch a story, and every warrior a valued member of our extended family.
