Ice Fishing Benefits TrueMentors

Dam to Dam is more than an ice fishing tournament; it’s a powerful investment in mentorship and the young people who rely on it. This annual fishing event directly supports TrueMentors, a program that connects caring, consistent adults with youth who need guidance, stability and encouragement to thrive.

Held on Saturday, February 14th at Croton Township Campground, this year’s tournament is part of Michigan’s Free Fishing Weekend, meaning no license or advanced registration is required to participate. Anglers of all ages can enjoy a day on the ice, friendly competition and great community camaraderie, all while supporting a stronger mentoring network for kids across Newaygo County.

Funds raised through Dam to Dam help TrueMentors expand its reach, from school-based mentoring with TrueBlue Academy to one-to-one community matches and outdoor mentoring through Parks in Focus. Your participation directly supports recruiting, training and sustaining these life-changing mentoring relationships.

A big draw of the day is the Hooked on Mentoring raffle, offering exciting prizes including a brand-new Back40 4X4 Camo 550cc UTV and more. Tickets can be purchased in advance at local retailers or on-site during the event, and every ticket sold helps expand the reach and impact of mentoring in our community. Join us on the ice to support youth, mentors and community connection!
