Fish Tales Fishing Club in Oak Forest netted 119 toys, $195 in gift cards and $235 in cash to benefit the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation (POTCF) during the Fishing Club’s annual Christmas Party.

Fish Tales Fishing Club (www.fishtalesfishingclub.com) is an organization of men and women who meet monthly to discuss fishing techniques, conduct seminars about local lakes and to support the South Suburban Special Recreation Association by organizing weekly fishing trips throughout the summer.

Fish Tales Fisherman Fred Howes said, “We wanted to give back because the toys are put to good use all year round. It is such a good thing that the Treasure Chest Foundation does.”

Ms. Kisel expressed her gratitude for the generous support shown by the Fishing Club members. “A toy drive of this magnitude is a true blessing,” said Ms. Kisel. “The Fishing Club’s tremendous support will brighten the lives of so many brave children and teens battling cancer.”
