Fisheries around South Carolina stand to benefit from a cooperative effort that will be on display at the Bassmaster Classic in Greenville, S.C., next week.
Fans attending the Bassmaster Classic Outdoor Expo at the TD Convention Center on March 16-18 can make a $5 donation to the South Carolina B.A.S.S. Nation conservation fund and receive a customized Carhartt A18 acrylic watch cap embroidered with a B.A.S.S. logo sewn on site by Carhartt employees from the company's manufacturing plant in Kentucky.
The funds collected from this initiative will be donated to the South Carolina B.A.S.S. Nation to buy gloves, boots, tools, and trash bags for high school anglers and other volunteers who will be cleaning up trash from 11 South Carolina fisheries.
"We have around 500 youth and high school members in the South Carolina B.A.S.S. Nation, and 11 bodies of water in need of shoreline and boat ramp cleanup," said Randy Mosley, President of the South Carolina B.A.S.S. Nation. "We plan to involve all of our youth in this win-win project, and the funds collected at the Carhartt booth by supportive fans will aid greatly in our efforts."
