THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE DAY POSSIBLE
Great Fishing Takes Great Captains.
Walleyes for Wounded Heroes recognizes the volunteer captains and charter partners who generously share their time, boats, and knowledge of Lake Erie to help Heroes reconnect.
YOUR SERVICE MAKES WAVES
A Community That Shows Up.
Every event depends on the generosity of people willing to share a boat, their experience, and a day on the lake. We are proud to recognize the captains and charter organizations listed on the W4WH website.
Looking to join them? We welcome inquiries from experienced captains and boat owners interested in the mission.
