BRAINERD — Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge has a long history of helping people break free from the chains of addiction and restoring broken families.

When you combine fishing, faith, and freedom from addictions, amazing things can happen. The Minnesota Fishing Challenge is one of the largest fundraisers that help fund this good work each year. Leading up to this event, anglers set another annual record by raising more than $702,000 to support Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge drug and alcohol programs statewide.

The cumulative amount generated via this family-friendly tournament since 2008 exceeds $6 million. Top fundraisers Stu Nelson and Rich Brummer from Cloquet are passionate about restoring lives of people who feel enslaved by drugs and alcohol; their hard work brought in $152,000.
