About Fishing For the Cure
Inspired by a small group of Alexandria Industries employees, the Fishing For the Cure Ice Fishing Challenge is about everyday people making a difference in the fight against cancer.

The event raised $93,700 for the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life of Douglas County.
