Walleyes for Wounded Heroes, Inc., (W4WH) provides opportunities for our nation’s current or former uniformed members of the United States Armed Forces, sworn Law Enforcement Officers, sworn Fire Fighters and sworn or affirmed Emergency Medical Responders – each having been injured from combat operations or line-of-duty service – to fish and reconnect with nature’s healing properties.

The Walleye for Wounded Heroes mission is to honor & empower courageous men and women. Founded in 2012, these enrichment events, involving Lake Erie fishing, have grown annually. Walleyes for Wounded Heroes partners with civic, social, and service organizations as an all-volunteer 501(c)3, a non-profit, non-discriminatory, non-sectarian organization.

Many of these Heroes describe renewed spirit and appreciation for the opportunity to participate in positive “activities of a lifetime”, interacting “like normal people” with other injured Heroes and W4WH escorts.

Our Lake Erie event is funded through donations by individuals, civic & service organizations, large & small companies, fund-raising events, plus contributions from every available source.
