Any anglers out there? There are so many ways to make a difference, all united in a purpose to make ALS history. In 1995, the family and friends of Kevin Kolquist, an avid outdoorsman who was diagnosed with ALS, decided to turn their love of fishing into something greater. That’s how the Kolar Toyota ALS Fishing Tournament began. What started as a small tournament has grown into a powerful tradition of hope, raising critical funds to support people living with ALS and their families. Three decades later, anglers are still gathering their lures and casting at the clear waters of Island Lake in Duluth, MN while raising funds that fight ALS. We are grateful for Never Surrender's Kolar Toyota ALS Fishing Tournament's support! Whether you're a lifelong angler or just love being out on the water, this is your chance to make a real impact. There is even a virtual option for those who cannot make it to Duluth.
