| CITGO Bassmaster Elite Series pros lend their names and efforts to a variety of charitable events and programs in every corner of the country throughout the year. One of those programs is Angler Angels, which schedules anglers to visit local hospitals at each Elite Series stop throughout the year. Certainly, charitable causes are dear to the hearts of BASS pros.
Case in point: Elite Series pros Alton Jones, Gary Klein, Brent Chapman, Matt Reid and Todd Faircloth will be participating in next week's Fish With a Pro event in Texas, which will benefit LifeLine Youth and Family Services. The event will take place Nov. 10 and 11.
LifeLine has long been one of Jones' pet causes.
The Indiana-based organization was founded in 1968 by a group of business leaders who had a vision to provide a healthy family environment to boys in trouble. Past BASS pros who volunteered include 2005 CITGO Bassmaster Classic champion Kevin VanDam and Texans Zell Rowland and Kelly Jordon.
"I think it's great to see pros like this volunteering their time," said Jones, who is sponsored by LifeLine. "This is a very worthy charity — just one of many that BASS anglers help out and promote throughout the year." |
