FISHING FOR A CAUSE REELS IN OVER $5,000 FOR HOMEAID OC
Anglers participating in the inaugural Fishing For a Cause deep-sea fishing expedition hauled in over $5,000 in support of HomeAid Orange County, a nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness rebuild their lives through construction, community engagement, and education. The 2½-day fishing adventure took place aboard the San Diego-based Poseidon sportfishing vessel and was led by charter master Scott Jones, Wright Engineers’ president. The event welcomed a mix of seasoned anglers and first-time fishers and was a memorable experience for all. Fishing For a Cause is a joint venture between Wright Engineers and HomeAid Orange County. Our sincere thanks go out to all the sponsors and participants for their generous support.
