  • Gumbo Wars

    The sixth annual AFC Gumbo Wars is less than a month away. Yes. it's time once again for the Anglers for Conservation Orlando Gumbo Wars scheduled on October 24, 2015 at the Fish on Fire Restaurant in Orlando, Florida with the gates opening to 10am.

    The AFC Orlando Chapter and many of it's Orlando area community partners have set the stage for this tasty annual fundraiser featuring over 25 Gumbo Teams, the Great Outdoor Toy Raffle, silent auction, and giveaways with all proceeds benefiting the AFC's Hook Kids on Fishing Program and other local youth fishing and outdoor charities. This fun filled family event features gumbo teams from across the nation and is promoted and sponsored by Fishing Florida Radio, Coastal Angler Magazine Orlando, Sweetwater Brewing Company, ABC Fine Wine and Spirits, Fish on Fire and other Central Florida fishing community partners and angling clubs.

    Come and enjoy some great gumbo and raise money for the AFC's Hook Kids on Fishing Program.




    Together in the last five years this fun event raised over $60,000.00 allowing these charities to acquire new fishing rods, reels and tackle for children and provide scholarships for young anglers. Thanks to the generous support of their sponsors and the Central Florida angling community, the AFC Orlando Chapter has introduced thousands of children and their parents to fishing and the outdoors, and provided them with free fishing tackle and equipment after completing their Hook Kids on Fishing Program. The AFC is an all-volunteer 501(c) (3) non-profit organization with a primary goal of creating a new generation of angling stewards through their Hook Kids on Fishing Programs held throughout the state of Florida. It is the AFC's goal to create responsible anglers through education and their use, don't abuse philosophy. They strongly feel the more people utilizing our outdoors resources responsibly, the move valuable those resources are for all of us.
