Giving Back for a Good Cause

For the fourth year, the Saint Paul Ice Fishing Show will be recognizing charities and non-profit organizations such as Folds of Honor and Fishing for Life.

Folds of Honor and CLAM are working together to carry forward the organizations' mission. Folds of Honor is a non-profit organization that provides life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled military and first responders. Since 2007, the organization has awarded 44,000 educational scholarships. The new scholarship season opens February 1, 2026.

CLAM has developed a new Ice Ops-branded product line benefiting Folds of Honor. The military-themed lineup of ice fishing products will feature the Ice Ops logo and will be officially available at the show, in retail stores and online.

Fishing For Life Reel ‘Em In program is all about putting fishing gear into the hands of those in need. This program collects donations of rods, reels, tackle, and tackle boxes, and with help from hundreds of volunteers in the metro area refurbishes them before gifting to youth, adults, and other non-profits within our community and nationwide.

In 2025, Fishing For Life has given away over 1,400 rod and reel combos and over 300 full tackle boxes to youth, veterans, families, and organizations in need. This program also accepts donations of used sporting goods, boats, RVs, trailers, ATVs, motors, and land.
