The organization called 'Challenged Outdoorsmen of America" helps disabled kids enjoy mother nature, by taking them hunting and fishing.

The organization's first Arkansas chapter held a fundraiser Saturday and dozens turned out to catfish-for-a-cause.

The creators said  they hope to have enough money raised for their first event with the kids this spring.

"In Branch County or Jefferson County," said Co-founder Stephen Harris. "We'll start there with disabled kids and challenged children, those who want to fish and we'll have a fishing derby in the spring."

The fundraiser had prizes for the biggest catch and also a chili cook-off.
