Sponsors, Teams & Individuals Welcome!

Get ready to shoot for a cause! Our clay shoot fundraiser is the perfect opportunity to show off your skills and support a great cause. 

The Straight Shot Sporting Clay Event is the perfect destination for amateur shooters to come together and test their skills in a friendly clay shooting competition. With 15 stations to visit, there’s plenty of opportunities to showcase your abilities and have some fun. And, with a catered lunch, shooting games, gun drawing, live and silent auctions, and a networking party featuring a BBQ lunch, the day promises to be unforgettable.

By participating in this transformative event, you are not just attending; you are becoming a vital part of a movement that uplifts and supports Coloradans facing disabilities and life challenges.

With the help of this event, our Employment Works program is a beacon of hope, empowering youth and adults with disabilities to unlock their true potential through mentorship, community engagement, and vital career opportunities.
