Our Goal:
Casting for Recovery is working to be a preeminent breast cancer support organization addressing quality of life issues as we:
- expand our current successful retreat programs
- develop our alumni services,
- incorporate information forums into our offerings
- provide breast cancer symposiums for medical and psychosocial professionals working with breast cancer survivors.

Casting for Recovery® (CFR), a national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, supports breast cancer survivors through a program that combines fly-fishing, counseling, and medical information to build a focus on wellness instead of illness.

  • Our 2-1/2 day retreat program, offered at no cost to participants, is provided by trained volunteers.
  • Since 1996 Casting for Recovery has made a difference in the lives of women at any age and stage of treatment and recovery from breast cancer - one woman at a time.
  • The powerful "ripple effect" of the Casting for Recovery experience has resulted in a national network of retreats, and has inspired programs around the world.
  • Learn more about our locations and about submitting an application by visiting our Retreats page
  • You can also make a secure online donation to assist in our efforts to help more women and expand our services.

Director's message

Retreat season is in full swing! Every day we receive notes of pure joy from participants who have forever been transformed by the experience provided by Casting for Recovery's volunteers. One participant shared, "While my physically healing was well under way, the Casting for Recovery retreat was the beginning of my mental healing."

Please visit our Facebook Page to become a fan, or to find out more about what's happening in the field!

Our mission, providing support and education to breast cancer survivors, ripples out through these retreat participants into their families, communities, and work. While we guide "One Woman at a Time" the impact these women have outside the retreat is astounding and immeasurable.

Good news! Casting for Recovery has been approved as a designated Combined Federal Campaign Charity and we are included in the national 2010 Combined Federal Campaign Charity List. CFC is an annual workplace charity campaign: pledges made by Federal civilian, postal, and military donors during the campaign season (Sept. 1 - Dec. 15) support eligible non-profit organizations that provide health and human service benefits throughout the world.
