The Brainerd Jaycees $150,000 Ice Fishing Extravaganza is completely volunteer run and all event proceeds are donated to area charities. The primary beneficiary is Confidence Learning Center, an outdoor recreational facility and camp for individuals with developmental disabilities. However, over 50 organizations in the Brainerd Lakes Area have received donations throughout the event’s history, which is set to tip the scales at $3 million in donations after the 2014 event.
