The Bamboo Bend Project is a registered 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that depends on tax deductible charitable donations to complete our mission of serving the Nation's honorably discharged veterans.  It is an annual eight-day course near Grayling, Michigan that assists in the healing of emotional and physical disabilities by hand building a split bamboo fly rod.  Our staff and instructors are 100% volunteers.  Every cent you donate goes directly to the cause.  The veterans pay for nothing, even travel from the far reaches of the country, and every student leaves with a completed fly rod -- and a big smile!
