Sportsman Channel presented a $50,000 check to Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) president Pat Murray at the ICAST show in Las Vegas, Nev. this week. The check will go directly to the Sportsman Fund – an internal fund Sportsman Channel originated with CCA in 2010 to raise awareness and funds for Gulf regions working to recover from the 2010 oil-spill disaster. CCA is one of the largest non-profit marine conservation groups in America.
Sportsman Fund began with the help of DISH Network in August 2010, when it launched Sportsman Channel and Sportsman HD on Ch. 395 and via a la carte pricing. The companies agreed to donate proceeds from the a la carte pricing to the Sportsman Fund, created to benefit Gulf Coast habitat restoration and research.
