Calusa Sportsman Foundation Fishing Tournament 2022
/ Nina MendesThank you to the Calusa Sportsman Foundation and all donors & supporters for a wonderful fishing tournament this weekend that raised money for Valerie's House families!
Dozens of our kids even had a chance to fish for themselves. For many, it was the first time they had gone fishing since their loved one died. So this is a very meaningful moment for them. Please enjoy these pictures of our children!

/ Nina MendesThank you to the families, volunteers, and mentors who attended our annual summer bash at Lakes Park!
This year's event was a great success, with an afternoon full of smiles and laughter. It's important to get together outside of group night to allow our kids to connect on other levels aside from their grief. Enjoy these photos from our special day 💙
