The Santa Fe TX Education Foundation’s first annual skeet shoot fundraiser was hosted on Thursday, October 21, at the Texas City Municipal Gun Range. The beautiful day was spent enjoying fresh air in good fellowship and fun, along with some great rivalry and competition amongst the 52 participants who came out in support of this fundraising event.
The support of sponsors, team registrations, hospitality tents, yard sign sponsors, and raffle ticket sales netted a profit of over $20,000 for this first time event. “The first annual Pulling for Education skeet was a huge success,” Event Chair Matt Crable said. “Thank you to all of our sponsors and participants for participating in this fun and unique event which allowed our Foundation to raise money to help fund our Grants for Great Ideas.”
Having Pook’s Crawfish Hole, The Gun Vault of Texas, College of the Mainland, Chemical Processing & Production Inc, and AMOCO Federal Credit Union as this year’s sponsors truly shows the community coming together to support the Foundation’s mission. These sponsorships were timely in assisting with funding some of the 48 applications received through our Grants for Great Ideas Program and will provide innovation and opportunities for students and educators that they would otherwise not have.
Raffle ticket sales yielded over $3,000 and big winners left the dinner and awards ceremony with a Blackstone Culinary Pro griddle and a 30-can soft sided RTIC cooler.
“This event was so much fun to plan and work with our committee as a first year event. We are excited to grow next year and to put your donations to work. You are making a tremendous difference and it’s truly an honor to put that in motion,” said Santa Fe TX Education Foundation’s Executive Director Gina Welsh.
