Caddis for Kids is a 24 hour, fly tying marathon. This year will mark the 2nd annual event held at The Silver Bow in Spokane. Throughout the course of the winter I take pledges on a per-fly basis then in March sit at the vise for 24 contiguous hours and tie a pattern called the Miracle Caddis (goto www.virtualflybox.com for moe info). All the proceeds generated benefit the Inland Empire Children's Miracle Network (CMN). CMN is a non-profit organization that includes 170 hospitals across the continent. The charity benefits about 14 million kids annually throuh treatments and surgical care, disease research and many different family support services. The cool thing is that the money made locally, stays local so everything I generate stays in the Inland Empire area network. I'm still getting the bugs worked out, so to speak (pardon the pun), but once it is a little more refined of a project I hope to have one in the Seattle/Tacoma area as well and maybe even more. Additionally there are Caddis Packs (six-packs of the Miracle Caddis) being sold at the Silver Bow with a portion of the proceeds of each sale going directly to CMN in Spokane. Anyone interested in more info or making a pledge can either e-mail me direct or contact Terri Fortner at CMN in Spokane at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for asking Richard! Happy Holidays!
