On May 31, 2019, Bentley Pontoons Corporation donated a 2019 Bentley Model 180 fish pontoon boat to the South Carolina Waterfowl Association. Suzuki also donated a 2019 40-hp 4-stroke outboard motor to power the boat. The boat and motor will be enjoyed by over 4,000 children who annually attend Camp Woodie (summer camp) and Camp Leopold (school year camp) at SCWA’s 978-acre Wildlife Education Center. While on the new boat, campers will enjoy fishing and wildlife viewing and will learn about boating safety from expert adult instructors.
According to Bentley CEO Ryan Marcott, “The Bentley Pontoons team is excited to provide this boat to help the SCWA Camp Woodie and Camp Leopold programs. Camp Woodie and Camp Leopold are dedicated to passing on the legacy of our outdoor heritage. All of us at Bentley Pontoons support this mission of reconnecting youth and their families to the outdoors, while developing a conservation ethic among our youth.”
When Curt Bridges, Suzuki District Sales Manager, received a call from Ryan about the possible donation, Suzuki immediately committed their support by donating the motor. “Suzuki is proud to support the Camp Woodie and Camp Leopold programs, and we are excited about the positive impact both camps have on developing the next generation of conservationists.”
On behalf of the entire organization, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Bentley Pontoons and Suzuki for their support of SCWA’s education programs.
