Allen Reimer Award
This annual award continues to reward our top pledge earner. In 2006 a new award was created in appreciation of Allen Reimer's contribution to this event. A plaque was created in his name. This following his passing and a brief and courageous battle with cancer. It will be awarded each year to the participant raising the most donations.

Shawn Bjornsson wrote to us:
Thanks for doing a great job. My father passed away in May 2005 . He was a great fishing partner of mine. Unfortunately he never made it to this event but he would be proud of everybody for a job well done. The real winners of this event were all the volunteers who donated there time for a great cause. I have a quote on my office wall which says You make a Living by what you Make. You make a life by what you Give. Thanks and less than 360 days till the next tournament.

I'm very fortunate to have great friends and family who I can ask for donations for this great cause. I'm also very lucky to deal with some great companies who support me. I've lost a couple of uncles, a couple of friends and a few clients and a great fishing partner (my father) to this awful C WORD. I'm very optimistic that we will find a cure for this disease if people continue supporting these events. I used to get teased because I could never say no to a children's charity and now Cancer charities are also on the top of my list.
Keep up the great work and let's make this the largest Ice Fishing Derby in Manitoba. Have a great day and we'll talk soon.
