Old surfcaster

So I got a call Monday night from a guy I use to fish with back in the 90s. His name is Chet Tomkins and he lives in West Hartford. One of the old guard to say the least. Last fished with him in 2000 and he and his wife had some health issues so they went into an assisted living facility.

Anyway, it was Chet and I had not heard from him since 2000. He's now 83 and in poor health. He asked me to come down as he is giving me all his surf equipment as he can't fish and I am someone he spent a lot of time with in the surf and was always kind to him.

I want to donate some of his equipment to a worth cause but I'm not sure how I should do this.

I need suggestions, please. No wise ass comments like "give it to me", I am serious. I have not seen his stuff yet but I remember he had some really old plugs and rods from Murats and reels from Crack and Luxor.

Help me raise some money for a worth cause.

No boat, back in the suds.
