FLW OUTDOORS CONTINUES SUPPORT OF ARMED FORCES
THROUGH DONATION
MINNEAPOLIS (June 17, 2003) — In a continuing effort to support the
men and women who risk their lives to maintain freedom in the United States,
Wal-Mart and FLW Outdoors have donated $200 Wal-Mart gift cards to troops
who were injured in the Middle East and are now recuperating at the Bethesda
Navel Medical Center in Maryland and Walter Reed Army Medical Center in
Washington D.C. FLW Outdoors has also donated copies of the June issue
of FLW Outdoors Magazine that will be sent to troops currently serving
overseas.
The Wal-Mart gift cards and magazines will reach troops
through the Armed Forces Foundation, a nonprofit charity established in
May 2002 to promote the morale, welfare and quality of life of the U.S.
armed forces community.
“The Wal-Mart gift cards and FLW Outdoors magazines really
mean a lot to the troops,” said James Gorab, executive director of the
Armed Forces Foundation. “They appreciate just knowing that after they
have been wounded in combat people care. It really makes a difference to
these troops.”
“We are so grateful to the men and women who serve
in the armed forces,” said Irwin Jacobs, chairman of FLW Outdoors. “The
Wal-Mart gift cards and FLW Outdoors magazines are a small way we can say
‘thank you’ to the troops who so selflessly and admirably serve our country.”
To keep troops on the pulse of tournament fishing while
they serve, FLW Outdoors will also launch FLW Live™ – a new Web-based technology
that delivers real-time updates and play-by-play audio coverage from tournament
weigh-ins. The technology allows anyone with Internet access anywhere in
the world, including the men and women serving our country overseas, to
view and hear results from FLW Outdoors tournaments the moment an angler
weighs in fish.
Many troops in the U.S. military, who fearlessly protect
America’s freedom overseas, are bass-fishing enthusiasts who have put their
passion on hold while they faithfully carry out their duties. FLW Live
now makes it possible for those serving to watch results as they happen
by simply logging onto FLWOutdoors.com on the World Wide Web.
“FLW Live is an excellent opportunity for everyone involved,
and we are very proud to be able to offer our men and women who are dedicated
to protecting our country a little piece of home while they sacrifice their
time and energy ensuring our freedom,” Jacobs said.
FLW Live will be available for the $1.5 million Wal-Mart
FLW Tour Championship Sept. 10-13 on the James River in Richmond, Va. In
the coming months, FLW Live will also be integrated into other FLW Outdoors
tournament trails, including select EverStart Series and Wal-Mart RCL Walleye
Tour.
The Armed Forces Foundation (www.ArmedForcesFoundation.org)
was established in 2002 by Gorab, a former Navy engineer, to promote the
morale, welfare, and quality of life of the military community, with a
special emphasis on military families. The Armed Forces Foundation organizes
a variety of activities and programs to provide recreation and educational
services for this community, including Youth Fishing Days for military-dependent
children. Two-hundred and fifty Members of Congress are honorary board
members of the Armed Forces Foundation. The next scheduled event for the
Foundation, on June 28, is a Youth Fishing Day for 300+ children and their
families based at Fort Dix and McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey.
FLW Outdoors administers the Wal-Mart FLW Tour, the world’s
most lucrative bass-tournament series; the EverStart Series, the pathway
to the Wal-Mart FLW Tour; the Wal-Mart Texas Tournament Trail; and the
Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League for weekend anglers. FLW Outdoors also operates
the Wal-Mart RCL Walleye Tour, the world’s most lucrative walleye-tournament
series, and the Wal-Mart RCL Walleye League for weekend anglers. The company
is named after the legendary founder of Ranger Boats, Forrest L. Wood.
FLW Outdoors is the world’s leading marketer of competitive
fishing. Wal-Mart and many of America’s most respected companies support
FLW Outdoors and its tournament trails. Wal-Mart has been the title sponsor
of FLW Outdoors since 1997. For a complete list of FLW Outdoors sponsors
