Help us get more women on the water

A lake day costs gas, bait, lunch, and a Saturday. What it gives back is harder to put a number on.

Where we are right now

Southern Harlequin is not a registered nonprofit yet. The paperwork is in progress. Until it's done we can't take tax-deductible donations, and I'd rather say that plainly than let anybody assume otherwise. What we can do right now is run lake days, line up volunteers and boats, and build the list of women we want to take out first.

Who This Is For

Single moms, their kids, and women in a hard season.

Divorce. Abuse. The loss of a husband. A stretch of life that just hasn't let up. If that's where you are, you're exactly who we had in mind when we started this.

You don't need gear, a fishing license story, or any experience at all. You don't have to be having a good day. Bring the kids or leave them home. We'll handle the rest.

How a Lake Day Works

Three steps, and none of them are hard

01

You reach out

Fill out the form below, or send a message on Facebook or Instagram. Tell us as much or as little as you want to.

02

We find a Saturday

We'll work around your schedule and the weather, and pick a lake close to you if we can.

03

You just show up

Rods, bait, life jackets, water, snacks and sunscreen are on us. Wear shoes you don’t mind getting wet.

Ways to Help

Three ways to put somebody on the water

All three matter. The third one is free and honestly does the most.

Sponsor

Sponsor a trip

Cover the gas, bait and lunch for one lake day. We'll tell you how it went — no names, just the good part.

[YOUR AMOUNT] covers one daySponsor a day
Volunteer

Volunteer a boat day

Got a boat and a free Saturday? That's the whole job. One boat means one more family out there with us.

Spread the word

Tell one person

You probably already know the woman this is for. Send her this page. That's it — that's the whole ask.
