Ways To Give

The North Branch Trout Derby Association is proud to be hosting our 16ᵗʰ year Derby Day Event!

Our program's success continues with the dedication of our group of volunteers. Whether it is maintaining the property, making improvements, or holding fundraisers. Weekends throughout the spring are when our major projects are completed.

Our last derby event provided a fishing experience for over 300 children, with over 1,300 people in attendance. Children’s prizes, giveaways, and raffles totaled approximately $10,000.00. We also stock the pond with 1000 fish for the day of the event, the fish range in size from 11-24 inches.

This year we have added “tagged Fish” to award the lucky anglers with additional prizes. We will also have trophy-sized trout added to our stocking order.

Additional derby day activities beyond fishing include an Obstacle Course, Mountain Man Exhibit, and Quality Deer Management Association will be present for our guests to learn the behaviors of deer and how they age.

We will also have the Pa Game Commission present to discuss Bear Management and possibly have a newly trapped bear on hand for the kids to see.

Special Needs and Veterans Fishing Day will be held on Sunday, May 18ᵗʰ, 2025. NBTDA members will be in full attendance to assist our guests. We will also provide lunch free of charge for our anglers and their families.

October is our Youth Pheasant Hunt; this popular event is open to boys and girls between 12–16 years old. They must have successfully completed the hunter safety course. A parent or guardian must accompany their child during the hunt. A trained hunting dog and handler accompanies each group of two hunters.

We ask for your support in the form of a monetary donation, materials for our projects, gift baskets, or gift cards that we would raffle off Derby Day.

The North Branch Trout Derby Association advances the common good by promoting and encouraging outdoor recreation for children and young adults and broadening their horizons through informal education of our natural environment.

We would like to take this opportunity to invite your organization to join us during the Derby Day event, this year is scheduled for Saturday, May 17th, 2025. The North Branch Trout Derby Association thanks you for your personal and or business donations.

Sincerely,

Bruce Pitts
