About big hearts

Big Hearts under the Big Sky is a program started by the Montana Outfitters and Guides Association (MOGA).  MOGA places children diagnosed with life threatening illness, women suffering from breast cancer and military veterans who have provided extraordinary service to our country, on fully guided and outfitted trips at no charge. MOGA works in close affiliation with four national groups:

Catch A Dream

Catch a Dream Foundation | www.catchadream.org
A national program whose focus is to provide children with life-threatening illnesses the chance of a lifetime to experience an outdoor adventure;
Hunt of a Lifetime

Hunt of a Lifetime | www.huntofalifetime.org
Another nationally recognized program that grants hunting opportunities for youths who face life threatening illness;
Honored American Veterans Afield

Honored American Veterans Afield (HAVA) | www.honoredveterans.org
HAVA's mission is to raise awareness and further assist disabled veterans with their healing process through guided hunts and shooting competitions;
Casting For Recovery

Casting for Recovery | www.castingforrecovery.org
An organization of breast cancer patients and survivors who use the sport of fly-fishing to promote physical, emotional and spiritual healing.

These MOGA partners each serve as a clearing house for identifying qualified persons who desire an outfitted trip of a lifetime in Montana.  MOGA works to match their needs with the right outfitters and guides to fulfill their dreams.

MOGA members have a long history of providing outfitted experiences to these types of organizations.  To ensure a continued supply of high quality outfitted hunting, fishing and outdoor trips, MOGA has launched an aggressive fund raising campaign through “Big Hearts Under The Big Sky ”.   All donations are tax-deductible and there proceeds will be placed in the Association’s 501 (c) (3) Educational Institute arm of the Montana Outfitters and Guides Association (EIN # 84-1424925).  The fund raising campaign relies on sponsorships, cash donations, auction item donations and contributions to an Endowment; the goal is to create long term, sustainable relationship with our partner organizations.
