The Friends of Cave Run Lake organization is dedicated to preserving conservation and sportsmanship in honor and memory of those who served as leaders in the sport of fishing. Through a scholarship fund for youth in the Cave Run
Lake area, the group hopes to perpetuate the spirit and enthusiasm that was demonstrated by those honored.
