Remington Sporting Clays Fundraiser Raises Nearly $20K for Children’s Hospital

Remington Ammunition recently hosted its fourth annual Shoot to Cure sporting clays fundraiser. The event united the outdoor industry and local Arkansas businesses to support disease research and aid children in need. All proceeds went to benefit the Arkansas Children’s Hospital. This year’s event was a tremendous success, raising nearly $19,000. That brought the gathering’s four-year total to more than $50,000.

Shotgun owners everywhere can also help families throughout the year with the purchase the company’s Gun Club Cure line of target shotshells. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this ammunition benefits children’s hospitals and disease research nationwide. That allows enthusiasts to turn their day at the trap, skeet or sporting course into an outing that gives back to those in need. It’s available in two 12-ga. loads, including Low Recoil.

“Shoot to Cure is an event that reaches shooting enthusiasts and is a great avenue for shooters to show support for Arkansas Children’s Hospital while exercising their skills and love for shooting at the same time,” said Remington’s Gun Club Director Kris Carson. “With the participation of corporate teams such as Healthway Pharmacy, United Health, First Electric, Garver Engineers, Windsor Door, Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation and many more, it’s truly a unique fundraiser and it’s a win-win for everyone involved.”

This event is hosted annually at the historic Remington Gun Club, which is located just steps from Big Green’s ammunition factory in Lonoke, Ark. and features facilities for trap, skeet, sporting clays and five-stand. Whether it’s a family outing, corporate event, or a sanctioned competition, Remington Gun Club—established in 1978—allows visitors to test their skills on a world-class facility. The top shooter at this year’s Shoot to Cure was Tommy Browning with a 98, with Steve Powell and Mike Darr in a second-place tie with a score of 96.
