Pay It Forward Contest


There are days where I ask myself what we as anglers can do to help out in this crazy world....
Every once in a while I get hit with an idea that forces me to act (ex. Flies For Fins).
So I started thinking....  What if we had a regular Pay It Forward contest?  An ongoing contest complete with prizes and giveaways based solely on spreading good will, love, kindness and education....
I am racking my brain trying to think of contest concepts...
Volunteer at an old folks home?  Teach 3 children how to tie flies?  Spread the word on the potency of fish farming to the average seafood consumer?  I find myself coming up short when I think of ways to do this and be able to not only choose a winner, but also 'prove' that the kind deeds were done.
So....let's start this Pay It Forward thing like this:
Please send me your ideas (to april@flygal.ca) on different ways to help out others (individuals, communities, non-profits, etc) and I will send the person with the best idea this G.Loomis hat (the tan one)...
Please remember that we have got some high ticket items as well as some smaller items so feel free to be as "far fetched" or as simple with your ideas as you would like.
I look forward to hearing what you come up with!
