CHOCOWINITY — Angels N Camo granted two wishes this summer, giving two local kids a chance to cast a line into North Carolina’s waters.

According to Lisa Adams, founder and president, the Beaufort County nonprofit coordinated fishing adventures for two local children this summer. In June, the organization accompanied Jackie Smith Jr. of Bath on a donated fishing trip, courtesy of Capt. Richard Andrews of the Tar-Pam Guide Service in Washington. Smith Jr. was joined by mother Vicki and Adams.

On the trip in the Pamlico River, Jackie was able to snag his first flounder ever, as well as several other flounder, three of which were regulation-size, Adams said.

In July, Anderson Potter of Chocowinity had his wish of going offshore fishing granted by the organization. He was joined by parents Lee and Robin Potter, along with Gilead, his service dog. The group traveled to Nags Head where they were joined by Adams and Chris Toppings of Wicked Liquid Productions on the Doghouse at the Outer Banks Marina. The trip was donated by Capt. Britton Shackelford, featured on National Geographic’s Wicked Tuna, and his wife, Audra. Potter was able to catch his first King Mackerel, one of six he caught for the day, Adams said.

Since its inception in 2012, the nonprofit has granted 15 fishing and hunting adventures to disabled children, as well as children with life threatening illnesses, Adams said.

“My goal was to grant wishes and make kids happy,” Adams said. “But I never thought we would get to 15 trips in this amount of time. We have had support from the community, and they’ve helped us raise money to grant these wishes.”

Last spring, the organization purchased an off-road track chair, necessary for disabled children who participate in the adventures and a means to access hunting blinds. It’s an asset to the group’s outreach acquired through community donations and other fundraising initiatives, including an annual turkey shoot, Adams said.

The organization hosted its inaugural banquet fundraiser in April, raising funds needed to grant adventures, according to Adams. This fall, Angels N Camo is planning another fishing adventure wish for another Beaufort County child, as well as a fall fundraiser that has not yet been decided upon. Also this fall, the nonprofit will participate in Raised in a Barn Farm’s fall festivities and receive part of the proceeds earned from ticket sales and other revenue, Adams said.
