Hunt of a Lifetime
“Team Arizona”
The Hunt of a Lifetime Organization is a group of dedicated
individuals that love to give young hunters an opportunity to
hunt. These young folks are different than most; yes, these
youngsters are battling some form of disease that is challenging
them for every day, and every breath of life. Every child that
is being helped by The Hunt of a Lifetime has been diagnosed
with a life threatening illness and each of these kids has a
dream, and that dream is to hunt!!
Each year the Hunt of a Lifetime asks for donations to help
these kids and the hardest donation to obtain are big game tags.
This year we have several kids that are waiting for some
generous individual to donate their tag so they might be able to
fulfill their dream of hunting a species of their choice here in
Arizona.
In 2005, in Arizona, we were able to obtain several tags and
most of our young hunters were successful in fulfilling their
dreams. Most of these tags we were able to obtain came from
folks just like you and I who may have been fortunate enough to
be drawn for several species, or might have conflicting hunts
that will not allow them to hunt both species at the same time.
Some tags were donated by the family of a person who may have
passed away before they had the chance to hunt.
The Hunt of a Lifetime Organization needs your tags!! If for any
reason you might have a tag that you think will not get used in
this year’s fall hunting season, the kids, and all of us at The
Hunt of a Lifetime would love to try and fill that tag and make
some dreams come true. At the same time, if you can donate any
kind of service, product, or time to The Hunt of a Lifetime then
we would love to talk with you!!
The contact information, and all the information and directions
to donate your tags, are on the main website
http://www.huntofalifetime.org/. If you would like to speak to
the Ambassador for Arizona for The Hunt of a Lifetime you are

This would be a great year to fulfill the dreams for these kids
and your donations “CAN” make this happen. Please join us this
year in making these dreams come true.
