The Claire Whaley Foundation announced this week it will sponsor David Williams during his rookie season on the Bassmaster Elite Series.
The South Carolina-based 501c charitable organization was formed by Trad and Angie Whaley to benefit middle-class working families who have children with special needs.
"David's family values and work ethic makes him a perfect fit for helping us raise awareness for special needs children and their families one cast at a time," said Trad Whaley. "Our goal is to raise awareness to the struggle of everyday life that involves a special needs child and their families and helping them monetarily with equipment, medical bills, and everyday needs they might encounter. We strive to make their goals a reality and look to help them anyway possible. Through David, we hope to be able to raise money to make this dream a reality and reach as many families as possible."
Said Williams, "I am honored to have the opportunity to represent and work with the Claire Whaley Foundation during the 2015 Bassmaster Elite Series. Everyone knows a family that has been affected in some way by a child's sickness, disease or even death. That is where the Foundation steps in and helps those families that are in need. I couldn't think of a better charity organization to be a part of."
