2025 Annual Spring Banquet

Written By Dennis Harman
more than 200 individuals attended the penns creek chapter 2025 annual fundraising banquet

The Penns Creek Chapter of Trout Unlimited held its Annual Spring Fundraising Banquet in February, 2025 at Belleville Mennonite School. The Chapter thanks all who attended this year.

 

Thanks to all the Chapter members who volunteered and participated in this year’s Banquet. With 235 attendees, this event was our most successful yet. As our primary fundraiser, the Banquet plays a crucial role in supporting our mission to conserve and protect the cold-water fisheries in our region. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended. Your support allows us to continue our vital work—ranging from enhancing stream habitats and educating the community to engaging youth and organizing stream clean-ups.

Additionally, we want to express our sincere gratitude to the local businesses and individuals who generously contributed to this year’s Banquet. Your donations were instrumental in ensuring the event’s success and making a tangible impact on our mission.
