The Fish-A-Thon for Cancer started in 2009 by Ryan Bonin after finding out that a family member had been diagnosed with terminal Cancer. The first event took place on August 15, 2009 at Deer Creek Conservation Area in Norfolk County. 13 people in total fished for the day and the day ended with a BBQ and prizes for most pledges, biggest fish and a random draw. Total amount raised was $3170

The second event took place on September 4, 2010 at Deer Creek. 25 people attended the event. This year brought many great sponsors and donations including tackle packs, fishing charters and many others. Every participant walked away with a great prize pack. Total money raised for the day was close to $4500.

The day goes as follows:

- We fish non-stop for a set amount of time
- You get forms and collect pledges for your "fish-a-thon" It can be as little as a 25 cent pledge! Every bit helps.
- We get prizes from various OFN members, tackle companies and other sources.
- "Most pledges", "big fish", are awarded prizes and all participants are put into a draw for prizes
- Post fish-a-thon BBQ will be held

Held at Deer Creek Conservation Area near Long Point, Ontario
