About Us
Mark Osiecki’s Casting for Kids was created to help children who are fighting cancer at the nationally recognized UW Carbone Cancer Center and American Family’s Children’s Hospital in Madison, WI. As a 100% volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are driven by our passion for children, cancer advocacy, community, and fishing.
About the event
Our unique, one-of-a-kind event features a fun day of fishing in a Catch-Photo-Release Multi-Species Tournament on Lakes Kegonsa, Monona, Mendota, and Waubesa. The day will include a Happy Hour, live music, dinner, bucket raffles, a silent auction, a live auction, and a boat raffle. One lucky participant will win a brand-new Alumacraft boat!
