The 4th annual C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation banquet/ fundraiser held Sept. 26 at the Pitser Garrison Convention Center in Lufkin grossed about $145,000, with proceeds going to benefit children with special needs, disabilities and disadvantages, according Texas bass pro Keith Combs of Huntington.

Combs said more than 400 people showed up in support of the Friday night banquet, which was followed by a Saturday fishing event at Lake Nacogdoches.

More than 20 kids and a number of volunteers participated in the fishing event. Participants were awarded plaques, fishing gear, commemorative T-shirts and other goodies.
