EAST HAPPENINGS

Local Business Supports Purgolder Fishing

A special thank you to D&S Bait, Tackle & Fly Shop on Northport Drive in Madison for supporting our 18 and Beyond program!


Each week, our students take part in leisure activities that encourage them to get out, explore, and enjoy all that Madison offers. One of our groups heads to Tenney Park to fish, and D&S generously provides free bait, making the experience possible. Because, as we all know… without the worms, the fish wouldn't bite!


We are so grateful for local businesses like D&S that help create meaningful community experiences for our young adults. Thank you for supporting our students and our program!
