Help send Brayden & Michaela to fish Nationals

Hi, my name is Kim Merrill and I am creating this page on behalf of Brayden Merrill (8) and Michaela Schmidgall (13). These two are members of the Gold Country Bass Tour and have recently teamed up to compete in the California Bass Federation’s Junior Angler State Championship Tournament. They were able to win 1st place in this tournament to become California’s state junior champion team and earn a spot to compete in the Junior World Bass Tournament. This tournament will be held in Illinois on the Mississippi River. The kids are super excited to have this opportunity, and are working hard to prepare so they can do well. All of this awesome news does come with a cost though. Brayden and Michaela would like to ask for donations to help with the cost of jerseys, fishing tackle, and travel expenses. If this is something that you are able to help with, any amount would be appreciated. They have worked very hard to make it this far and and we wish them the very best experience possible! Thank you for considering helping them out!!
