HELENE DISASTER RELIEF
A Disaster Relief Fund has been established within the Blue Ridge Guide Association for donations that will be earmarked directly for full-time fishing guides and outfitters/fly shops & lodges significantly impacted by Hurricane Helene. Guides, outfitters/fly shops & lodges that meet specific requirements can apply for relief funding to help compensate for loss of income or revenue during this tragic time. When the donation period ends, funds will be allocated on an equal basis to qualifying applicants.
