On September 13, 2025, Teaching Our Traditions (TOT) held its very first fundraiser at the EOUV Club, and it was a tremendous success. The event brought together community members, supporters, and outdoor enthusiasts for an evening filled with excitement, prizes, and a shared commitment to mentoring the next generation in hunting and fishing.
Incredible Prizes and Winners
The fundraiser featured thousands of dollars in prizes, including six firearms and a complete crossbow package. The highlight of the night came when one lucky winner rode home on a brand-new ATV, which may be a little small for him, but perfect for his kids! The energy in the room was electric as tickets were drawn and prizes were awarded, creating unforgettable moments for everyone in attendance.
Supporting the Next Generation
The funds raised during this event will go directly toward purchasing equipment for the kids in the TOT program. From fishing rods and tackle to hunting gear and safety equipment, these resources will ensure that every child has the tools they need to learn, grow, and thrive in the outdoors.
A Community Effort
The success of this fundraiser would not have been possible without the support of the community, the generosity of donors, and the dedication of volunteers who helped bring the event to life. This milestone marks the beginning of many more opportunities to come, as TOT continues its mission of teaching traditional outdoor skills and values to youth.
Looking Ahead
With the momentum from this first fundraiser, TOT is excited to plan future events and expand opportunities for kids to experience the outdoors. The support shown at the EOUV Club is a powerful reminder of the importance of passing down traditions and ensuring that the next generation has the chance to connect with nature.
