REEL Heroes Joins Purple Heart Homes as an Official Chapter, Expanding Efforts to Support Veterans
REEL Heroes will expand its impact alongside Purple Heart Homes by raising awareness and funds for veterans’ housing solutions across the United States.
Save the Date: Reel Heroes Kayak Charity Bass Tournament - July 11 & 12, 2025
As part of their mission, REEL Heroes is working to expand their signature REEL Heroes Fishing Tournament, held annually on Lake Norman the weekend following the Fourth of July, to new locations across the country. They have partnered with leading kayak fishing organizations, including the Tennessee, Georgia & South Carolina B.A.S.S. Nation Kayak Series, BASS Champs, Foothills Kayak Anglers and Queen City Kayak Bass Fishing to amplify their reach and fundraising efforts.Beyond tournaments, the REEL Heroes directors—Jon House, Russell Rauch (aka Fenway), and Wes Richardson —are Purple Heart Homes Pro Staff Anglers. Outside of their events, they take veterans fishing, recognizing the powerful role the outdoors plays in helping veterans reconnect and “cut off the noise” after returning home.
