Federal Ammunition Continues Support Of Kids & Clays Foundation

Federal Ammunition continues its dedicated support of the Kids & Clays Foundation and its mission to help critically ill children and their families. Kids & Clays has been supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) through sporting clays fundraising events for more than two decades.

“This is a tremendous opportunity to support an organization that not only supports Ronald McDonald House Charities but also introduces thousands of new shooters to shooting clay targets at sporting clays events each year with its fundraisers,” said Jason Nash, vice president of marketing for Federal Ammunition. “Knowing we all have acquaintances, family, and even employees who have been in situations where support from the Ronald McDonald House Charities was needed makes this support even more fulfilling.”

The organization’s fundraising sporting clays events are structured to provide all the equipment and supplies an individual would need to participate. This allows more than 8,000 participants, many of which are first-time shooters, to enjoy the events in a safe and fun environment. Kids & Clays is projecting its 2024 supported events raised more than four million dollars for local Ronald McDonald House Charities. Since the organization began back in 1999, Kids & Clays has helped generate nearly $35 million through clay target events.

“Federal has been one of the organizations that continues to support the cause and allow us to grow to 45 fundraising events across the country,” said Doug Jeanneret, executive director of the Kids & Clays Foundation. “These events cover 47 Ronald McDonald House Charity Chapters across the country and shot up over 750,000 rounds of ammo this year.”

Kids & Clays began in 1999, when Glenn and Kathy Lubeznik—McDonald’s owner/operators in northwest Indiana—chaired the first annual Sporting Clays Tournament. Funds raised benefited the Ronald McDonald House program in Chicago. The overwhelming success of the event has blossomed into an effort that benefits children and their families nationwide today.
