SD Gunner Fund's 3rd annual Clay Shoot Tournament will be on April 29 beginning at 8 a.m. at 17 South Rod and Gun Club in Fleming, GA.
The tournament’s mission is to provide funding for SD Gunner Fund’s service and therapy dog training and advocacy program to support local military families, first responders, and children with disabilities.
Welcome swag bags, lunch, top shooter prizes and special custom auction items will be part of the event.
“As a non-profit organization, we rely heavily on the generosity of our supporters and community members to continue our mission,” said Britnee Kinard, Executive Director of SD Gunner Fund. “We’re thrilled to be hosting our upcoming 3rd annual Clay Shoot, which not only provides a fun and exciting way for our community to come together, but also helps to ensure that we can continue to provide service and therapy dogs to those who need them most.”
Sponsorship packages are available to businesses, clubs, and individuals. These sponsorships give the opportunity to gain exposure as supporters of the SD Gunner Fund. A variety of sponsorship opportunities have been created, catering to all budgets and commitment levels. Packages range from $500 to $2,500.
The organization said business sponsorships help subsidize the cost of training service dogs and therapy dogs for veterans, first responders, and children with disabilities living in Coastal Georgia. SD Gunner Fund’s average cost to train a service dog is over $9,000, and therapy dog training is nearly $8,000. Yet, the families they serve never pay a dime.
SD Gunner Fund is a Richmond Hill-based nonprofit that has provided 85 fully trained service dogs to veterans, first responders, and children with disabilities since 2014. Their core service area includes Bryan, Bulloch, Chatham, Effingham, and Liberty counties, with dogs placed as far south as Brunswick and as far north as Bluffton, SC.
