Casting for Recovery, a non-profit organization offering support and educational retreats for women with breast cancer is announcing its newest national sponsor; Sage Manufacturing for 2014. In 2013 Sage committed a portion of sales from the GRACE rod to directly support CfR and its mission in helping women diagnosed with breast cancer attend multi-day retreats that teach them to fly fish and assist with the mental and physical challenges of breast cancer at no cost to them. Both CfR and Sage are excited to deepen the relationship and continue in 2014 with social media engagement, continuation of support through sales of the GRACE rod and more.
“CfR is a wonderful organization that helps women in need learn how to do something they probably never thought they would,” says Sage marketing manager, Eric Gewiss. “We’re ecstatic to be a part of that and helping these women attend CfR retreats in any way we can. They are learning much more than how to fly fish, they are learning how to embrace nature and do something that we all at Sage really enjoy and that’s getting outside and doing what we love; fly fishing. So we are happy to share that passion with them.”
“We’re overjoyed to have such a reputable, industry powerhouse behind us,” says CfR executive director, Whitney Milhoan. “It’s exciting that the team at Sage believes in what we do and wants to support us in our efforts to help women with such a tough diagnosis. Nearly everyone has been touched by breast cancer in some way, and having the committed support of companies like Sage really helps us move forward in our plans for 2014.”
