Photos: Keith Combs 8th annual Cast for Kids event

The 8th Annual Keith Combs Lufkin fundraiser to benefit the CAST For Kids Foundation was held Friday, September 27th at the Pitser Garrison Convention Center in Lufkin, Texas. Roughly 400 people were in attendance. The evening kicked off with CAST For Kids Superstar, Skylar Lindemann, playing the National Anthem on her violin. There wasn’t a dry eye in the place. Next guests were treated to a seafood dinner catered by Tome Catering in Lufkin. Over 400 people attended the banquet Friday night.

On Saturday, Keith and Jennifer Combs hosted a shoreline CAST For Kids fishing event at Lake Nacogdoches. 30 special children spent time fishing and taking boat rides with their volunteer fishing coaches. Every child was celebrated with an award plaque and medal, and they all took home a rod, reel, tackle box, t-shirt, hat, and swag bags full of products from Strike King, Lews, Seaguar, and Tackle Addict. Loving Toyota treated all of the children, their families, and all volunteers to a BBQ lunch.
