Mending Casts : 12 Days of Fishmas Auction 2023
HELP US HELP THEM:
Our annual "12 Days of Fishmas" online auction is one of our major fund-raising events each year. All the money raised will be directed into our Australian cancer support programs to help people like those featured in the video above. Our Casting for Recovery and Reel Recovery programs are uplifting life-changing events for the participants, so many of whom are facing very significant challenges and hardships. So please help us to help them by bidding generously on the wonderful items that our sponsors have donated. We value every dollar as all money raised will be directed back into our cancer retreat programs and the activities which support them.
With your help, we will change lives, one cast at a time!

MENDING CASTS - Who are we?
Mending Casts Inc is a not-for-profit registered charity that was formed in early 2019 to run free fly fishing retreats for people with cancer. This includes the internationally acclaimed women's Casting for Recovery program in Victoria and Reel Recovery programs for men throughout Australia.
We are run solely by volunteers and rely exclusively on fund-raisers, donations, sponsorships & grants to fund these programs. We cannot operate without public generosity so every dollar received is invested back into our programs and the activities which support them.
