Davidson Cares will host their eighth annual Clay Day fundraiser, which has been renamed this year from “Davidson Cares Clay Day” to “Jim Davidson’s Annual Clay Day” after the recent passing of the patriarch of the Davidson family, Jim Davidson.
The event will take place at the Jacksonville Clay Target Sports on Oct. 19. This annual sports shooting event has raised more than $577,785 for local charities that support youth-based organizations throughout Northeast Florida.
“We’re so honored to live and work in a community that supports our charitable endeavors, like Clay Day,” says Sherry Davidson, president of Davidson Cares, the philanthropic arm of Davidson Realty. “This is such a fun event, and the funds we raise go directly into organizations that support, protect and uplift some of our most vulnerable neighbors. It’s also an opportunity to celebrate my husband, Jim’s, life. We miss him every day.”
Clay Day begins with registration and lunch from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Shooting starts at 2 p.m. Both new and experienced shooters are welcome. For a minimum donation of $400 per shooter, participants can shoot 100 sporting clay targets. Those new to shooting can shoot 50 skeet in a safe and comfortable atmosphere under the guidance of an instructor for a minimum donation of $300 per shooter.
This year’s Clay Day supports the following charities: St. Augustine Youth Services, Investing in Kids! (INK!), Builders Care, Port in the Storm Homeless Youth Center, Hope is Restored, Homes for Hope and Five Star Veterans Center.
“We couldn’t do this without our wonderful sponsors,” said Davidson. “The contributions we receive from companies like The Hutson Companies, Iventure, Providence Homes and Riverside Homes really help drive this event. We can’t express our appreciation enough!”
Jacksonville Clay Target Sports is located at 12125 New Berlin Road in Jacksonville. The event will be held rain or shine. To register to shoot, donate or inquire about sponsorship, go to davidsoncares.com/fundraisers/davidson-cares-clay-day.aspx.
