The Detroit Area Marines Foundation is honored to announce our recent donation to Vets with Nets, a remarkable organization dedicated to showing appreciation for our nation’s active military service members and veterans. This evening, we took an exciting step in supporting their efforts by contributing to their 7th annual Vets with Nets event, taking place on June 6th and 7th, 2025.
This monumental event, held on the scenic waters of Lake Erie, is the largest veteran fishing event in the region. With world-class walleye fishing at its core, the event provides an unforgettable experience for participants while building a profound sense of camaraderie among those who serve or have served. Fishing enthusiasts and first-timers alike come together for two days of adventure, laughter, and shared stories in an environment that fosters connection and gratitude.
Our donation will directly support the planning and execution of this incredible event, ensuring that every detail—boats, gear, accommodations, and more—is thoughtfully arranged for the veterans and service members who will attend. For the Detroit Area Marines Foundation, being part of this initiative aligns perfectly with our mission of honoring and uplifting those who have given so much to protect and serve our country.
The partnership between the Detroit Area Marines Foundation and Vets with Nets represents the collective power of community-wide support for our heroes. We know that events like this do more than brighten a day—they deepen a sense of belonging and respect, providing lasting memories and well-deserved moments of joy.
We’re thrilled to stand alongside Vets with Nets as they gear up for their biggest event yet, and we encourage others who share our passion for giving back to get involved. To learn more about this impactful organization and how you can contribute, visit their website at https://vetswithnets.org/.
Together, we can continue to honor and celebrate the service of our military and veteran community, one fishing line at a time. Thank you to Vets with Nets for their dedication and for allowing us to play a part in making this year’s event unforgettable.
Semper Fi!
