OUR STORY
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
The Luck Association was founded on legacy, love for the outdoors, and a deep commitment to community.
​
It all began in 1995 with Sidney D. Tyler and his father, Sidney "Luck" Tyler — a father-son duo bonded by fishing trips, hunting adventures, and a passion for helping others. “Luck,” as many knew him, was more than an outdoorsman. He was a proud Hunter, a devoted Firefighter honored with the 30-Year Golden Service Axe, a Deacon, a Husband, and a Father.
​
When he passed in 2014, he left behind more than memories — he left a mission.
​
In 2017, Sidney D. Tyler and his wife Altheia Tyler brought that mission to life by founding The Luck Association in his honor. What began as family tradition is now a growing nonprofit built to introduce youth and families to the healing power of the outdoors.
​
Through fishing, archery, hiking, camping, and conservation, we create hands-on experiences that build confidence, self-health, motivation, and lifelong skills.
