The Great American Shoot & Donations for the Special Forces Charitable Trust (100% of all donations go back to SFCT)
September 30, 2017
The Special Forces Charitable Trust (SFCT) is hosting a sporting clay fundraiser, called The Great Americans Shoot, in California on September 30th, and I thought that you might be interested in hearing about it. We will also be posting pictures as the event continues!
Funds from the Shoot will help support the entire Special Operations Community and their Families. In the past three years, this Shoot has raised over $3.5 million, and we are predicting that this year’s Shoot will bring in over $1 million, making it the most significant shoot in American history.

In addition to the funds raised, this is also the largest clay shooting fundraiser in the world, and it has an incredibly unique platform that makes the event a great time for everyone involved. There are several teams competing in the Shoot; each team consists of five people and one “6th man” from the Special Operations Community, and each has committed to raising a minimum of $50,000 for the event. Every team will also select a Special Operations military charity that they wish to represent. The Special Forces Charitable Trust will be the recipient of the first 50% raised. The chosen charities of the top five fundraising teams will receive 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, and 10% of the remaining 50% respectively.
The individual winner and the winning team are those who raise the most money for the Special Operations Community, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t awesome prizes for those who shoot the most clays out of 50 either! The prizes this year can be found on the website at: http://greatamericansshoot.org/2017-prizes/ ; you should check out the Toyota Tacoma 4X4 last year’s winner took home as a Grand Prize!
This year, I am proud to say that I was invited to be a "6th man" again for the 4th year on behalf of the SFCT. I am so enthusiastic to take on this opportunity and to truly make the lives of Special Operations Forces Soldiers and their Families, who do so much for our nation and the world every day, better with this level of fundraising. Not to mention that TGAS in California is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Becoming a part of The Great Americans Shoot is a really incredible opportunity, so I wanted to reach out to you. There are many ways in which you can become involved with this unique event, and each of them are very meaningful contributions. I encourage you to visit the event sites: http://greatamericansshoot.org/ and or contacting me at 270-871-2953 me if you have any questions. 100% of all donations go back to SFCT. Whether you’re interested in giving support to my team’s fundraising goals or joining my team in the Shoot, I didn’t think that you would want to pass up on this opportunity, which is why I wanted to invite you personally.
