2024 KidFish Ice Fishing Derby
2024 KidFish Ice Fishing Derby took an unexpected turn due to unseasonably warm weather affecting ice thickness. After much deliberation, the KidFish executive team made the tough decision to cancel the on-ice event. However, we were down but not out! Thanks to the Selkirk Recreation Centre’s generous support, we shifted gears and moved the event indoors.
We were amazed by the swell of support from our wonderful fishing community. Over 500 participants attended our family-friendly event. They collected their free kids’ ice fishing rods, played games, met mascots, and enjoyed the provided lunch—donations always welcomed! Most stayed for the multiple prize draws and giveaways. This truly showcased the spirit of our community fundraiser. The 2024 KidFish Ice Fishing Derby has been a great success so far.
From our fishing family to yours—thank you!
Thanks to all who supported and donated at the 2024 KidFish Ice Fishing Derby, we are proud to announce that we have presented a cheque for $19,000 to both the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba and the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation. This significant contribution aids vital cancer support initiatives and children’s health fundraising, helping us continue our mission of fundraising for cancer care through community engagement and charity fishing events.
Once again, a huge thank you to all our sponsors, volunteers, and supporters for your unwavering commitment and generosity. The 2024 Derby was an incredible event. We look forward to seeing you at future KidFish Charity Events, where together, we can continue to make a positive impact in our community through fishing for a cure.
