An Evening For Tred Barta
« on: July 03, 2009, 08:20:04 PM »
Many of you are aware Tred Barta has been stricken with a paralyzing disease. He currently is in a facility in Denver, Colorado paralyzed from the waist down. His doctors were worried the paralysis was extending into his upper torso. The good news is the paralysis seems to be contained.

Tred has been a driving force in our industry for many years. He has worked tirelessly with the next generation of anglers for the IGFA's Junior Anglers Program instilling the love for big game fishing in these children ensuring a future for our wonderful sport.

For the past month Tred and his lovely wife Anni have suffered immensely. Now their medical bills are mounting and it is only the beginning. The family will be in serious financial straits because of the hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills insurance does not cover.

The Big Game Fishing Journal is coordinating "An Evening For Tred Barta" and will coordinate five benefit fund raising dinners from Rhode Island to South Florida on October 23, 2009 at 7:00 PM to be held at the following restaurants and facilities:

The Villiage Inn, 1 Beach St., Narragansett, Rhode Island - Contact: Matt Barashyan 917-903-8116
Oaklands Restaurant, 365 Dunne Rd., Hampton Bays, NY at Shinnecock Inlet - Contact: Anthony Prudenti 516 810 5812

You can also contact Len Belcaro at 800 827 4468 for further information or special donations.

Let's make October 23, 2009 a very special day, and "An Evening For Tred Barta" a heart warming affair that will show the world sport fishermen are a generous and caring group of gals and guys that will open their hearts and take care of their own. Please pass this note on to your sport fishing clubs or marinas.

God Bless You Guys and Thank You
Capt. Len Belcaro

Love to watch his show on Verus, unfortunately I'm on a fixed income and can't afford to go, but I'll be praying for him.
