It was a big catch for Transition 2 Betterness.
A unique fundraiser last month, in memor of the late Ed Polewski, helped to raise $22,895 for the charity that helps patients and their families going through serious health issues in the hospital.
The Fly Fishing Film Tour was a fundraiser that showed eight short films on fly fishing at the Capitol Theatre in Windsor.
Polewski's brother-in-law Frank Harshaw says Ed would have approved.
"He was a big supporter of T2B so we decided, all of his fishing buddies and I, decided to put together this fundraiser."
Harshaw the money is going to a worthy caus saying, "they are there for people and their families that are going through some serious health issues so he thought that was a good charity and the whole family has been a big supporter of it."
He says "we were hoping to raise about $10,000 and we did a little bit better than that so it was exciting for us this year and hopefully we will carry on and do it next year and make it a yearly event."
The money from the event will be used to purchase 'Comfort Care Totes' to help cancer patients in Windsor-Essex.
The totes contain comfort items such as a journal, blanket, socks, lip balm, moisturizer, ginger chews and herbal teas to help people with side effects of different treatments.
