Stripping for a cure
Stripping for a Cure is an annual celebration of women, fly fishing and philanthropy bringing female anglers together to raise funds for those battling cancer through the St. John’s Health Foundation. This women’s fly fishing event is held on the scenic Snake River in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.⠀
⠀
This year the annual event has been replaced with an online auction due to Covid. 2019 raised $85,000 and this year the goal is to raise $100,000. Please consider this incredible organization to help women in an area that most have visited.⠀
