Make-a-wish doesn't do hunts anymore. Marty Brunson w/Catch-a-dream is doing that now. M-A-W said they didn't want to be involved anymore w/ kids killing anything. Go figure.

Because of the liberals that are on board with Make A Wish, they will not grant a wish or take money from "blood sport". That means hunting and fishing. If I remember correctly, Bo Prestige with Wildlife Inc. was going to do a fund raiser hunt and Make A Wish through a fit about it and said they refused to take blood money. Make A Wish is a good organization with the exception their views of hunting and fishing. I would look into the Catch A Dream organization. I think that they are Misssissippi based. They had a booth at the Extravaganza in Jackson. I am sure that they will be more than happy for you do a fund raiser hunt.

catch a dream is mississippi based, i'm wanting to say it's out of brookhaven, it was founded by the late Bruce Brady Sr. His son used to be the youth minister at my church and i'm wanting to say is one of the ones that kind of runs it now. They're very nice folks who'd probably be more than happy to do something along these lines. Their website is, http://catchadream.org/ hope this helps ya out some. i'd be more than willing to do one for a turkey hunt somewhere around here, i just pretty much go as a guest everywehre i duck hunt though.
