We are starting a campaign in order to produce the Erik line of products and build a legacy in memory of Eric M. Whitelock, our nephew, a military veteran, lost to us in 2013. Once the product line is produced and ready for selling, we can then expand our programs to reach more of those in need.

More about the “Fishing Away” Games and Products


The products are fun to use, they engage the imagination and creativity of the user and help parents teach, coach, and mentor their children. They, in turn, are creating the environment where children have the ability to freely think and create their own versions of the game and maintain their interest.

The products are wholesome and fun to use because each is a make-believe adventure; they engage the imagination and creativity of  the player beacause they can be child directed as oppposed to expected response activities, especially with the help of parents, teachers, coaches, and mentors. Children go on vacations and bring their experiences to the books and games. Children just love the outdoor setting of the products and bring their energy and unique view of the world to the framework created by the game atmosphere.

All the products will have the positioning of being instruments that allow parents to interact with their children and help develop their social interection skills using parental guides included with the game. These guides are the unique feature that essentially provides parents with a ‘user guide’ that helps them teach their children with professionsally developed instructions and discussion aids.  These are behind the scenes instructions that fully capture the underlying benefits of the game produced interaction and susequent teaching and mentoring.

This has been an amazing ride and it’s only just beginning! I have been in awe at how many companies and people have donated their time and amazing talents of creativity, volunteer spirit and counsel. You have offered your precious time and energy to the benefit of our mission and vision. I don’t think I can express in mere words how thankful I am that you have believed in us and have taken time out of your busy schedules to participate in this effort.

We couldn’t have done it without you!
