From Hunting Trip to Honorary Ranger: Beverly Woods Foundation's Life-Changing Impact on DJ Daniels' Cancer Journey
Beverly Woods Fishing And Hunting With Kids Foundation: Making DJ Daniels' Dream Journey Possible
In an inspiring story of compassion and community support, the Beverly Woods Fishing And Hunting With Kids Foundation played a pivotal role in transforming the life of young DJ Daniels, a brave child battling cancer who recently received national recognition from President Trump. This remarkable journey began back in 2021 with a special hunting trip that set the stage for extraordinary experiences that followed.
A Foundation Built on Hope and Outdoor Experiences
The Beverly Woods Fishing And Hunting With Kids Foundation has dedicated itself to providing life-changing outdoor experiences for children facing serious health challenges, particularly those battling cancer. For these children, time spent in nature offers not just adventure, but a powerful respite from the rigors of treatment and hospital stays.
"Seeing DJ's face light up during his hunting trip with us in 2021 is exactly why we founded this organization. We believe that every child, especially those fighting battles like cancer, deserves to experience the joy and freedom of the outdoors." — Kent Woods Jr., President of the Beverly Woods Foundation
When DJ Daniels joined the foundation for a hunting trip in 2021, no one could have predicted how this experience would become just the first step in an incredible journey that would eventually reach the White House.
The Hunt That Started It All
In 2021, the Beverly Woods Fishing And Hunting With Kids Foundation welcomed DJ for what would become a transformative hunting experience. As a child bravely fighting cancer, DJ found not only adventure but also strength and inspiration through this carefully planned outdoor experience.
During his hunt with the foundation, DJ discovered:
- The confidence that comes from learning new outdoor skills
- The therapeutic benefits of time spent in nature
- A supportive community that recognized his courage
- Mentors who saw his potential and spirit
- A passion for service that would shape his dreams
As Kent Woods Jr. shared on Facebook: "This puts a huge smile on my face for DJ who we took on a hunt with the #BeverlyWoodsFishingAndHuntingWithKidsFoundation back in 2021..."

This touching post from Tommy Kingston shares the foundation's pride in DJ's accomplishments and offers a glimpse into how a single hunting trip became the catalyst for extraordinary recognition and moments of joy during DJ's cancer battle.
Beyond the Hunt: Creating Lasting Connections
What truly sets the Beverly Woods Foundation apart is their commitment to creating experiences that extend beyond a single event. After DJ's hunting trip concluded, the foundation's work was far from over. In a remarkable demonstration of their dedication, they began coordinating with the Texas Rangers to create an even more meaningful experience for DJ.
As Kent Woods Jr. described: "...after his hunt was over we had been coordinating with the Texas Rangers and, they showed up and, made DJ an honorary Ranger..."
This extraordinary coordination showcases how the Beverly Woods Foundation leverages their relationships and community connections to amplify the impact of their programs. By working directly with the Texas Rangers, they transformed a hunting trip into the first step of DJ's journey toward fulfilling his dreams of service.
A Journey From the Woods to the White House
The Beverly Woods Foundation's initial efforts created a ripple effect that continued to grow. After becoming an honorary Texas Ranger through the foundation's coordination, DJ's inspiring story ultimately reached President Trump, who recognized this courageous young man by making him an honorary Secret Service Agent as well.
As reported by ABC News and celebrated by Kent Woods Jr.: "...last night President Trump made him an honorary Secret Service Agent way to go DJ we are all proud of you my friend keep fighting the bad guys..."
This progression—from a hunting trip with the Beverly Woods Foundation to recognition from the President—demonstrates the profound impact that the foundation's work can have on a child's life and dreams.
Supporting Children Through Their Cancer Battles
The Beverly Woods Fishing And Hunting With Kids Foundation understands that children battling cancer need more than just medical treatment—they need experiences that nourish their spirits and give them strength to continue fighting. DJ's ongoing cancer battle makes his achievements even more remarkable.
As Kent Woods Jr. expressed: "...may God continue to bless you as you continue to fight your battle with cancer."
This heartfelt sentiment reflects the foundation's deep commitment to supporting children not just during their outdoor adventures, but throughout their entire health journeys. The Beverly Woods Foundation recognizes that for children like DJ, these experiences provide not just memories, but motivation and strength for the difficult days of treatment.
