About C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation
Since 1991, the C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation has provided disabled and disadvantaged children an opportunity to enjoy a quality outdoor recreational experience through the sport of fishing. The foundation, based in Renton, takes thousands of children fishing each year and provides them fishing equipment to keep at no charge the families. http://www.castforkids.org

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, inactive role models, competing demands and time pressures, unsafe environments, lack of adequate facilities, insufficient funds, and inadequate access to quality daily physical education seem to be more prevalent among populations with special needs.

According to research, children with disabilities tend to be more restricted in their participation, defined by the World Health Organization as the nature and extent of a person's involvement in life situations, including recreation, than their peers: a gap that widens as children become adults. What's more, many individuals with disabilities are still, to a large extent, socially segregated and experience negative societal stereotypes and low performance expectations, rendering them with limited opportunities for participation in group physical activities. Fishing has been identified as a "least restrictive environment", whereby children of all means can equally participate.
