WHO HE IS<\/strong> William Dunn is the founder of Take a Kid Fishing, Inc.<\/a>, a nonprofit organization in Lakeland, Florida, that mentors underprivileged and fatherless<\/a> kids through the sport of fishing. A dozen years ago, William noticed his six-year-old neighbor, Camran, seemed angry. He\u2019d storm out of the house, shouting at his mom. One day, William saw the boy outside and started a conversation. Camran shared that his dad wasn\u2019t in his life.<\/p>\n

William asked Camran\u2019s mom for permission to take him fishing<\/a>. Camran was \u201chooked\u201d from that first trip. The two fished together several times a week, and William saw positive changes in Camran\u2019s behavior. \u201cThat\u2019s when I realized that God was calling me to help fatherless kids,\u201d he says. Soon William was teaching Camran\u2019s friends and other kids in the neighborhood to fish.<\/p>\n

WHAT HE DOES<\/strong> During the week, William works as a tire salesman. On weekends, he and a few other volunteers<\/a>, mostly people from his church, take 20 to 25 kids out fishing on a charter boat. William reaches out to local foster homes and group homes to invite the kids to spend the day on the water. Many have never been fishing or even on a boat, so William\u2014or Big Will, as the kids call him\u2014starts by teaching the basics. Then come the life lessons that fishing offers: patience, teamwork and the simple joy of relaxing in the outdoors<\/a>. Take a Kid Fishing, Inc., has taken more than 600 fishing trips with almost 2,000 kids who don\u2019t have a father<\/a> in their lives.<\/p>\n

WHY HE DOES IT<\/strong> William grew up in Miami in a rough area. His dad ran a lobster business in the Florida Keys, and William helped with it. He and his dad had a great relationship. Fishing was a huge part of that. \u201cFishing was so peaceful,\u201d William says. \u201cIt was like an escape.\u201d<\/p>\n

He wants to share his love of fishing<\/a> with kids who don\u2019t have a father to take them. \u201cI just want to show them that I care about them, that I\u2019m there for them,\u201d he says. Because many kids go on multiple trips, William is able to build relationships with them. He and Camran, now 20, still regularly fish together, and Camran sees Big Will as a father figure.<\/p>\n

HOW HE DOES IT<\/strong> When William explained his mission to the captain of the Double Eagle, <\/em>a charter boat in Clearwater, the captain offered him a great deal. Take a Kid Fishing, Inc., pays only $25 per kid to spend the day on the boat<\/a>. Many kids opt to catch and release, but on a recent trip with kids from a group home, they kept the fish and enjoyed some delicious fish tacos that night.<\/p>\n

Take a Kid Fishing, Inc., has corporate sponsors, including Planet Fitness and L. L. Bean, which has donated rods, reels and clothing. William welcomes donations from individuals too. \u201cMy church, the Family Worship Center of Lakeland, has really come alongside me in this ministry,\u201d he says. \u201cAnything we need, they help.\u201d<\/p>\n

HOW YOU CAN DO IT<\/strong> Take a Kid Fishing, Inc., has a huge impact, but it started because William wanted to help one kid<\/a>. Do you know a child who might benefit from your friendship? Introduce them to fishing or another hobby you enjoy. The activity doesn\u2019t matter as much as your presence in their lives. For more information, visit takffl.com<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
