OGEECHEE RIVERKEEPER TO HOST CLAYS FOR THE CANOOCHEE
The new event is a sporting clay shoot fundraiser
Ogeechee Riverkeeper (ORK) invites sportsmen and women to participate in a sporting clay shoot, benefitting the nonprofit’s fight to secure clean, safe water. Participants will have a chance to show off their skills on the 50-shot course at 17 South Rod and Gun Club, a 300-acre private club with 15 scenic stations that challenge shooters of all levels. The event is a morning of friendly competition, followed by an award luncheon and raffle.
Those looking to aim higher can become a Clays for the Canoochee sponsor. Depending on the level, sponsors will have increased visibility for their business or organization and special event-day perks, as well as registration for 1-2 teams of 4 shooters each. Not a shooter? Organizations can still sponsor limited edition merchandise, including reusable water bottles, tote bags, and more.
