"Cops & Kids Fishing Derby"

Fishing for a Good Cause

There’s no such thing as a bad fishing trip, especially when you’re fishing for a good cause.

SEBA once again held its annual “Cops & Kids Fishing Derby,” on April 21 at Guasti Park in Ontario.  The derby benefits SEBA’s Children’s Charities Fund.

“We had a good turnout of kids,” Danny Thomas, from Thomas & Associates, said. Thomas &Associates organized the fundraiser, which drew about 100 attendees.

Children were given a fishing pole, complete with tackle and bait. They each also received lunch, snacks and raffle tickets, plus an additional raffle ticket per fish caught. All the kids did well.

First Place Winner: 4 ½ lb rainbow trout; 2nd Place 1 3/4 lb. trout Thomas & Associates raised about $3,000 in prizes which were awarded to the participants. The derby is a successful fundraiser for SEBA, one that will continue to grow in the future, Thomas said. “It seems like, each year, it grows a little more and more,” he said.

Attending children were from San Bernardino Foster Children’s Association and the Loving Hearts Association.

We would like to thank Explorer Scouts, Cadets from the Sheriff’s Academy, Deputy Sheriff’s and Probation Officer’s who helped out to make this event a success.
