Hunting & Fishing Night was one for the books!

Georgia DNR, Realtree and the Atlanta Braves teamed up to bring Georgia’s great outdoors to Braves Country.

From live wildlife and our mobile aquarium to archery, fishing and coastal experiences, the Wildlife Resources Division - Georgia DNR , Coastal Resources Division - Georgia DNR , Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites - Georgia DNR, and Law Enforcement Division - Georgia DNR gave Braves fans plenty of opportunities to experience Georgia’s great outdoors.

To top it all off, DNR Commissioner Walter Rabon took the mound to throw out the first pitch, and the Braves brought home a win!

And the excitement didn’t stop there! Thanks to our incredible partners at Realtree, six lucky attendees went home with a lifetime hunting and fishing license.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to see us, and a special thank you to Realtree and the Atlanta Braves for helping make this event such a success!

Georgia DNR has been much more than a partner at Hunting For The Cure, they've been mentors, teachers, and role models.

Each time they join us, they invest in the next generation by sharing their knowledge, passion for conservation, and love for God's creation. Whether teaching about Georgia's incredible wildlife, promoting outdoor stewardship, or encouraging hands-on learning, they leave a lasting impression on every child and family they meet.

For many of our young warriors, these experiences are more than just fun, they're opportunities to discover new passions, build confidence, and create memories that outshine the challenges of childhood cancer. The impact of a caring adult who takes the time to encourage, teach, and inspire can last a lifetime.

Thank you, Georgia DNR, for continually pouring into the youth we serve. Your influence extends far beyond a single event. Together, we're not just creating outdoor adventures we're helping shape future conservationists, outdoor enthusiasts, and leaders. We are truly grateful for your partnership and your heart for serving others. 💚🦌🎣🦅
