About Fishing For the Cure
Created by a small group of Alexandria Industries employees, the Fishing For the Cure Ice Fishing Challenge is about everyday people making a difference in the fight against cancer. At its first event held in 2007, 112 people fished and raised $620. In 2017, 912 people participated in the tournament, including 152 children age 12 or younger, raising more than $38,000 for the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life. With a goal to raise $50,000 at this year’s tournament, Fishing For the Cure will exceed $150,000 in total funds given to find a cure for cancer over the event’s 12 years.
