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.
