Casting for Recovery

Join Us to Support the NARPM Past Presidents 2018 Charity Fundraiser

Benefitting Breast Cancer Survivors through the Therapeutic Sport of Fly Fishing

Past President Vickie Gaskill, MPM^® RMP^®, has chosen Casting for Recovery as the NARPM^® 2018 Past Presidents’ Charity. Vickie is a breast cancer survivor, as are so many of our NARPM^® Members. In 2013, she had the opportunity to participate in a retreat program where she interacted for the first time with other survivors learning the art of fly casting and fly tying. The experience was a “lifetime” event.

The mission of Casting for Recovery (CfR) is to enhance the quality of life for women with breast cancer through a unique retreat program that combines breast cancer education and peer support with the therapeutic sport of fly fishing. Casting for Recovery serves breast cancer survivors of all ages, in all stages of treatment and recovery, at no cost to participants.

On a physical level, the gentle, rhythmic motion of fly casting can be good therapy for the upper body as a way to encourage increased mobility for women who have had surgery or radiation as part of their breast cancer treatment. On an emotional level, women are given the opportunity to experience a new activity in a safe environment among a supportive group of peers.

Past Presidents, Bob Machado, MPM^® RMP^®, Raymond Scarabosio, MPM^® RMP^®, and Bart Sturzl, MPM^® RMP^®, are in the midst of planning a spectacular event for all of NARPM^® to attend. The NARPM 10th Annual Past Presidents’ Charity Golf Tournament is scheduled for October 16, 2018 at the Steele Canyon Golf Club in Jamul, California (just outside of San Diego).

As one of San Diego’s finest golf clubs, Steele Canyon’s 27-hole championship golf course was personally designed by Gary Player, one of history’s greatest golfers, with a respect and appreciation for the natural beauty of the terrain. From the dramatic elevation changes of the Canyon nine to the subtle nuances of the Vineyard nine and the total seclusion of the Ranch nine, any combination will make for a wonderful day of golf. As a recipient of Golf Digest’s prestigious “4-½ Star Award” and more recently a City Beat News Spectrum Award winner, Steele Canyon Golf Club has been nationally recognized as one of Southern California’s best publicly accessible golf courses.
