In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re proud to spotlight a valued partner of Orvis: Casting for Recovery. Casting for Recovery’s mission is to enrich the lives of breast cancer survivors and thrivers through #wellness retreats that foster connections among women and with nature, utilizing the therapeutic sport of fly fishing. They provide vital oncology medical and psychosocial support—all at no cost to participants. Since its inception in 1996, Orvis has been a founding sponsor of CFR, and our partnership continues to thrive. In 2024, CFR will celebrate a significant milestone: 60 retreats that have supported over 800 women nationwide facing breast cancer. To date, an impressive 11,000 women at various stages of their journey have participated. The CFR curriculum focuses on three key pillars: 💗Empowering Women: Building confidence by teaching new outdoor skills. 💗Mental Health & Wellness: Offering both one-on-one and group support throughout the retreats. 💗Conservation: Set in stunning natural landscapes, the retreats emphasize environmental stewardship, including proper fish handling, catch-and-release practices, and sustainability. The incredible work of Casting for Recovery is powered by over 1,800 dedicated volunteers. Together, we’re making a difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer. #Orvis #BreastCancer #Awareness #healing #flyfishing #conservation #empoweringwomen

Celebrating Conservation at the Orvis Store in Charlotte, NC! On October 17, 2024, the Orvis retail store in Charlotte hosted a meaningful event, led by Orvis board member Tim Belk and property owner Jamie McLawhorn, to support the Blue Ridge Guide Association (BRGA). The BRGA plays a vital role in connecting guides across western NC and eastern TN, advocating for the #conservation and management of the cherished South Holston and Watauga Tailwaters, which are integral to our local fishing community. In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, the BRGA established a Disaster Relief Fund to assist guides, lodges, and fly shops affected by flooding. Thanks to the generosity of attendees, Orvis raised an incredible $6,336 during this event! We were honored to welcome special guests, including: Simon Perkins, Orvis President, Jon Hooper, manager of South Holston River Lodge and BRGA co-founder; Matt Maness, guide with Foscoe Fishing Company & Outfitters and BRGA co-founder; Brownie Liles, retired guide and owner of WATAUGA RIVER LODGE & OUTFITTERS, LLC and Blue Ridge Boatworks. The evening featured a candid conversation with our guests about the essential role of guides in fostering our appreciation for the outdoors and promoting conservation efforts. Jon, Matt, and Brownie also shared their firsthand experiences during Hurricane Helene and provided updates on the recovery efforts in their area. Event Highlights: ⭐️Display of drift boats by High Country Boats and Blue Ridge Boatworks ⭐️A raffle for a #Helios 905-D with a custom Blue Ridge-themed “Timmy Grip,” raising $5,500 in donations! ⭐️Delicious food from Noble Food and Pursuits, a local restaurant group committed to community support, having provided 32,000 free meals to residents affected by Helene ⭐️Signature beer, wine, and cocktails served in commemorative glasses ⭐️Orvis-exclusive Twine & Twig jewelry, handmade in Charlotte, with all proceeds benefiting the BRGA Special thanks to our new associate, Christopher Bonner for capturing these moments; and to District Manager Mary Schaeffer and the store team for their efforts in hosting this fabulous event.
