Donations for the 2020 Youth Events
At all three regular season state events, PA Bass Nation will be accepting donations for the Youth/High School program. Ernie and Phil, our youth/high school tournament directors, are always in need of giveaways for his events. This is a perfect way to help out and give something back and help out the kids in our organization. There will be a donation bin at all three events. We will be accepting donated items such as rods and reels, baits and line, t-shirts and hats, etc. – really anything fishing related that can be used as a giveaway.
Thanks in advance for supporting our youth and high school program.
