CYSTIC FIBROSIS 2nd ANNUAL SHOOT FOR THE CURE
On Friday, October 12, 2007, the Charlotte Rifle & Pistol Club, SHOTGUN PROGRAM, hosted our 2nd annual
Cystic Fibrosis Shoot for the Cure. The weather was perfect and the event could not have gone any smoother.
Corporate sponsers and participants included HEARST Service Center, INFINITY PARTNERS, EnPro Industries,
Solvay Pharmaceuticals, RT Dooley, Concrete Supply Co., IBM, Insite Engineering, Mayer- Brown - Rowe and
Maw, and Verizon Business. Duncan' Donuts and Bojangles' provided breakfast and coffee, and a BBQ lunch
was provided by the CF folks. Huge trays of different wings were provided by Hugh & Elaine Stone from
Vinny's Raw Bar. Cakes, cookies and muffins were home made by Janet Rubin. Raffle prize gift certificates
were donated by McCormick & Schmicks, Jersey Mike's and Good Ol' Days Restaurant.
The shooting started at 9:30 AM and ended at 3:00 PM. There were team awards, Individual awards based
on a Lewis Class System and a Top Gun award. Our staff of Club Volunteers kept everything safe and fun.
With a little instruction and encouragement from our guy's the shooters had a great time breaking clay's.
The 5-Stand had a Puffer Target shoot which got participants extra raffle tickets. This went on all daylong!
At the end of the day $33,000.00 was raised. WOW! The CF Foundation spends only 10% on expenses,
which means 90% of all funds raised are used for the intended purpose of research and patient needs.
Our volunteer Club Members made this happen. Elaine Stone handled Score Board. The rest of the volunteers
pulled and scored targets reloaded the houses and did house keeping. I thank each and every one of you for
donating your time. By the end of the day we were all beat, but upon following up with you all, everyone
said it was worth the effort.
Thank you Elaine & Hugh Stone, Lindy Sanders, Dave Eggert, John Fenley, Mason Alexander, Alan Riter, Chuck
Willis, Jerry Lapple, George Pittelko, Meridith Burt, Sean Collinsworth, Chuck Phillip.
