What a day. What a community. What an impact. 💥

🦆 Our 6th Annual Clay Shoot was one for the books... and it’s all because of YOU.

Together, we raised $178,960 to support the life-changing programs at Community Matters Cafe, a life skills program of . Every dollar goes toward equipping individuals with soft skills, stability, and a fresh start.

A huge thank you to our incredible sponsors: especially our Life Skills Sponsor, Morehead Group, and our Title Sponsor, Coca-Cola Consolidated for their generosity, leadership, and commitment to this mission. ❤️

Because of partners like you, this event continues to grow, bringing more people together and creating opportunities for even greater impact.

To everyone who came out, showed up, and stepped onto the course; thank you for being part of something bigger.

(And yes… we went through 102 cases of clays 👀 safe to say y’all did not come to play.)

Because of this day, more lives will be changed, more stories rewritten, and more hope restored.
