ABOUT KINDLEWOOD CARES
Kindlewood Cares, Inc. is a Florida-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We operate at the intersection of competitive bass fishing and charitable giving, proving that passion for the outdoors can drive real change for children in need. We connect children and veterans with nature.
OUR DUAL MISSION
We believe that competition and compassion go hand in hand. Our primary focus is raising funds to support children fighting cancer through our partnership with The Jimmy Fund, the fundraising arm of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's pediatric and adult cancer care and research programs.
Alongside our charitable fundraising, we work to connect children with nature through outdoor experiences, educate communities about the health benefits of time spent outdoors, and protect the natural spaces that inspire and heal us.
HOW WE DO IT
Cast for a Cause Tournament Series: We host online catch-photo-release bass fishing tournaments through the Fishing Chaos app platform. Anglers across the country compete for prizes while 40% of every entry fee goes directly to charitable causes. Our tournaments welcome anglers of all skill levels who want to fish competitively while supporting a meaningful mission.
Annual Rod Raffle: Each year, we build and donate custom fishing rods for raffle fundraisers benefiting The Jimmy Fund.
Youth and Veteran Outdoor Programs: We're developing programs to take children and veterans fishing directly, fostering environmental stewardship and creating lasting memories in nature.
WHY SUPPORT US
When you donate to Kindlewood Cares or participate in our tournaments, you're not just contributing to a cause—you're joining a community of anglers who believe fishing can make a difference. Your support helps fund pediatric cancer research at one of the world's leading cancer centers while promoting the physical and mental health benefits of outdoor recreation.
Every contribution, whether through tournament participation, direct donation, or workplace giving, helps us expand our reach and deepen our impact.
OUR VALUES
- Charitable Mission First: Our charitable purpose drives everything we do
- Transparency: Clear communication about how funds are used
- Community: Building connections among anglers, children and veterans who care
