Bill Chaney

My youngest recently graduated from high school. I’ve been mainly focused on raising my five sons and one daughter for the last thirty years. It’s been longer than that since I’ve had a proper adventure for myself. I wouldn’t have found the time and resources to invest in myself for a positive experience like the June 2024 three-day veterans’ walleye fishing trip. Some great people (including some I will never meet) made it possible by laying it all at my feet. It was regenerating and encouraging. I’ll never forget or stop appreciating this trip. All of the other veterans in our group said the same.

My thanks to Giving Back Outdoors, the volunteers, Double P Ranch, and the business and individual donors. Your generosity reflects a lot of credit back on you. I hope the results of it give you as much satisfaction as I received.
