Bethesda Academy Hosts 2018 Sporting Clays Tournament
10th Annual Benefit to be held at Forest City Gun Club
(SAVANNAH, GA) Bethesda Academy will hold the 10th annual Sporting Clays Tournament on Friday, Oct. 19 at the Forest City Gun Club, located at 9203 Ferguson Ave. All sponsorship and event proceeds will benefit Bethesda’s scholarship program for young men in grades six through twelve.
The tournament includes a wild game lunch and wild game hors d’oeuvres cocktail reception, both prepared by chef Kirk Blaine. In addition, participants may attend a safety and shooting clinic.
Registration opens at 11 a.m.; lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m. The safety and shooting clinic will take place at 12:45 p.m. and the tournament will begin at 1 p.m.
The live auction, award ceremony and wild game cocktail reception will be held after the tournament at 5 p.m. Auction and raffle items include a hunting trip with Whiddon Wingshooting in Argentina, a condo on Cudjoe Key, a Ford Plantation discovery trip, a pheasant tower shoot, a Pig Pickin’ Party for 30, an oyster roast for 20 and much more.
“We are so grateful for the community’s support of the sporting clays tournament, which has grown in both scope and appeal over the past decade,” said Bethesda Academy president Dr. Michael Hughes. “Proceeds from this event provide critical funds which allow us to ensure that cost is never a hindrance to a family’s ability to send their son to Bethesda Academy.”
Registration is open for teams of four to participate in the tournament. Team registration is $1,000 before Friday, September 21 and will be raised to $1,250 after that date.
Area businesses are also invited to consider sponsorships for the fundraiser with sponsor levels ranging from $7,500 to $500.
