The Mayfly Project is honored to be a recipient of the Bass Pro Outdoor Fund and deeply appreciates their support through the years. This past season, Bass Pro joined us at our projects in Raleigh, Kimberling City, and Fayetteville to film and capture powerful stories from our mentors and mentees. They also visited our Founder, Jess Westbrook, and Co-Founder, Kaitlin Barnhart, and included pictures from our Columbus Project! It was an honor to have their team at our projects and to help make our youth feel truly special.
We are thrilled to share that our film was selected by F3T and will be shown at select locations across the country! TMP is all about creating meaningful, fun, and unforgettable moments for youth in foster care, and this film beautifully captures the impact of our work and the healing power of fly fishing and mentorship. Please continue sharing our promo video, supporting your local TMP projects, and helping us thank Bass Pro for their dedication to TMP!
A special thank you to our mentees, who are the true heroes of this film and of The Mayfly Project. We also want to recognize our Lead Mentors involved in the film, Annie O’Leary (Raleigh), Jerry Harman (Kimberling City), Tyler Stephens (Fayetteville), and Pam Allen (Columbus), as well as Jess, Kaitlin, and their families.
Thank you again to Bass Pro for helping make this work possible!
