Take A Kid Hunting Foundation Inc

EDUCATE URBAN YOUTH ABOUT OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND TO FACILITATE AND ENCOURAGE YOUTH TO HUNT, CAMP, HIKE AND FISH IN WISCONSIN.

THE TAKE A KID HUNTING FOUNDATION WAS STARTED BY ROBERT PUCCI TO GIVE YOUNG PERSONS A CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN WISCONSIN OUTDOORS ACTIVITIES WHO HAD LITTLE KNOWLEDGE, OPPORTUNITY OR RESOURCES. BOB FUNDED THIS PROGRAM THROUGH HIS WELL-BRANDED BOB AND ROCCO GUN SHOWS AND BADGER MILITARY COLLECTIBLES SHOWS. THROUGHOUT THE YEARS OF ORGANIZED HUNTS, THOUSANDS OF YOUNG BOYS AND GIRLS HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AND ENJOY GOOSE/DUCK HUNTING. BOB'S GOAL IS TO HAVE A RECREATIONAL/TRAINING AREA FOR HUNTING, FISHING, CANOEING, KAYAKING, PADDLE BOARDS AND BEYOND. A PRIORITY GOAL IS TO HAVE A FISHING RECREATIONAL AREA FOR OUR WOUNDED/DISABLED MILITARY VETERANS AND KIDS WITH DISABILITIES. INSTALLED IS A HANDICAPPED FRIENDLY FISHING PIER AND A FACILITY WITH HANDICAPPED FRIENDLY BATHROOMS/SHOWERS TO ACCOMMODATE DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS. A PAVILION IS ALSO AVAILABLE WHICH HAVE WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE PICNIC TABLES WITH A KITCHEN TO SERVE OUR VETS, KIDS WITH DISABILITIES AND THEIR FAMILIES! ALSO DEVELOPED IS AN EXPANDING FIVE ACRE CAMPGROUND FOR SCOUTS, BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS, COMPLETE WITH FIRE PITS AND PLENTY OF ROOM FOR TENTS OF ANY SIZE! BOB AFFECTIONATELY NAMED THIS AREA 'CAMP NEAL' AFTER THE MAN WHO DEVELOPED THE LAKE PROPERTY. THE NEXT PHASE FOR CAMP NEAL IS TO BUILD THE TAKE A KID HUNTING FOUNDATION MUSEUM TO HOUSE HIS COLLECTIONS OF OVER FIFTY YEARS WHICH HE HAS DONATED TO THE FOUNDATION.
