ALWAYS SOMETHING AWESOME

While not 100 percent sure, we can probably assume that February 20, 2020, was the highlight of the year for the Southwest Florida chapter of ASA. About 30 companies were represented as they gathered for the First Annual Clay Shoot Fundraiser. The clay shoot, a 50/50 raffle, sponsorships, and mulligans raised funds for chapter activities, a nascent legislative fund, and $1,500 for Habitat for Humanity. This past January 22ND welcomed the Second Annual Clay Shoot Fundraiser, where another $1,500 went to support the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity. LaRae Davenport, Executive Director of ASA’s Southwest Florida chapter, explains, “We chose Habitat for Humanity for several reasons: 1) they’re local, so we can see exactly what our contributions do; 2) they have done a lot for our community; and 3) they are construction-related. What more can you ask for? Last year Habitat had to stop all volunteer efforts due to COVID. I know a bunch of our members help out on projects when they can. This was a small way we could give back to them. Hopefully we’ll be able to give them some of our time and labor in the future.

I'm so thrilled to be part of this chapter. We've grown so much, and really gotten more involved in the community. The Board wanted to do a fundraiser, and Habitat for Humanity was the logical choice for us.” Next year’s event is already planned for February 11, 2022 in Ft. Myers. So if you’re in the area, and want to practice your clay shooting skills for a good cause, contact the South Florida chapter of ASA.
