The 14th Annual Fishing to End Hunger Walleye Dan Tournament (FTEH) is being held on Saturday, October 3, 2026.
National Conductor has been supporting the Fishing to End Hunger Walleye tournament for many years!
In 2025, National Conductor, Inc. became a MATCH sponsor for this event as well! NCI matched up to $20,000 of the fishermen fundraising!
At Christmas time last year, our employees gathered more donations and volunteered an evening at The Outreach Program and packed meals!
In 2026, National Conductor, Inc. will once again be a MATCH sponsor and match up to $20,000 of funds raised by the fishermen!
This year, several of NCI team members have made the decision to fish in this tournament as well. If you'd like to donate and help us take advantage of the $20,000 match sponsor! Click an NCI team member link below to donate today!

Just a $20 dollar donation will prepare 57 meals for distribution, $50 will prepare 143 meals, $100 can prepare 286 meals!
FTEH was established in 2013 as a fundraising event to support the efforts of a humanitarian food aid organization - The Outreach Program of Brainerd Lakes (Outreach BLA). Outreach BLA is in Nisswa, MN. The organization has packed over 5.2 million meals that have been provided to those in need.
Outreach BLA packages 10 different meals that are provided to local area food shelves, community meal programs, shelters, school backpack programs, mobile meal distributions, take-one-need-one carts, etc.
Meals include Apple Oatmeal, Raisin Oatmeal, Mac/Cheese, Tomato Basil Pasta, Minestrone Soup, Cheesy Rice, Spanish Rice, Beans & Rice, Apple Rice and Raisin Rice Pudding.
Outreach BLA meals require only 3-8 cups of boiling water to make. Each meal contains vitamins, minerals, protein, and other nutrients to ensure a healthy product. The cost if minimal - ONLY $0.35/meal. Imagine - you can provide a meal for a family of 6 for ONLY $2.10. That’s incredible!
The vision of Outreach BLA is that 80-90% of the meals they package will be distributed in a 60-80-mile radius of Nisswa.
The remaining 10-20% can be distributed in greater Minnesota, used for disaster relief, or be shipped internationally.
Meals are packed and distributed by community volunteers. This might be a place for you to consider volunteering your time, bringing in a classroom, or your office.
It’s simple, easy work but makes a BIG impact in a short amount of time.
