TACO Marine® has signed on as a presenting sponsor of They Will Fish Again, fishing events for adaptive anglers organized by the non-profit Life Rolls On Foundation, established by 3X world champion quadriplegic surfer and adaptive angler Jesse Billauer.
The first event will be held May 19. Embarking from San Pedro, California on a 75' sport fishing trawler, 30 anglers, who are mostly wheelchair bound, with the help of 40 to 50 volunteers, will cast their lines for what promises to be an unforgettable day on the water. "TACO Marine proudly supports this initiative as a presenting sponsor, recognizing the profound impact it has on the lives of participants," said TACO Marine Marketing Manager Dana Koman.
For individuals living with disabilities, opportunities for outdoor recreation can often be limited. However, They Will Fish Again seeks to break down barriers and demonstrate that with the right support and resources, anyone can enjoy the excitement and freedom of sport fishing.
"My whole life is about surfing and fishing. Out of a necessity, and for me, the love of fishing, I wanted to give back and start They Will Fish Again, and it was a big success, Jesse Billauer said.
