The "Shoot For A Cure" Charity Sporting Clays program was
established in Northern California in 2003, with 86 shooters at our
first event. In four years we have grown to six events covering twelve
states. These events have introduced hundreds of new people to the fun
and competition of Sporting Clays shooting, while raising hundreds of
thousands of dollars for leukemia research.
In this endeavor, we have partnered with the UFCW Leukemia/Lymphoma Fund and Clays for Kids. The United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) has set up it's fund in such a way that every dollar raised is used to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's thirty leukemia research facilities nationwide. Because of this research over 200,000 more people are surviving with leukemia today than there were four years ago and the cure rate has risen to over 86%!!!
The "Shoot For A Cure" program has brought together labor unions, outdoor organizations, contractors, business leaders and elected officials for a great cause - and we're growing! Our goal for 2008 is to raise $200,000 and to expand our Patron Sponsor program. Our five year goal is to have twelve shoots per year, establish regional and national championships, and raise $500,000 annually for research.........See you on the Course!
