Austin Founder Lions Have Successful Sporting Clay Shoot-Out

Austin Founder Lions Club’s eighth annual Sporting Clay Shoot-Out was June 8, 2018, at Capital City Clays. A total of 21 teams competed in two fields.  Prizes were awarded for First, Second and Dead Last in both the Blue and Red fields.  Winning teams were sponsored by Austin Sonic Drive-In and DBR Engineering. Second place winners were Labor Finders and The University of Texas Cowboys. Dead Last went to TAB Technologies.

The NFL Alumni – Austin Chapter again supported the event with some 22 former players who hosted each shooting station, signed autographs and posed for pictures. Thanks, guys!

               Continued support by both past and new Team, Event and Station sponsors and generous participants – plus several raffles – helped make this event financially successful. Thanks to all the sponsors listed below. 

               The primary beneficiary for the event was again the Center for Child Protection. (https://centerforchildprotection.org/)

               Austin Founder Lion Cameron Labunski was chair of the event. Jim Overton and Tommy Cowan were co-chairs. Other committee members included Austin Founder Lions Mark Hastings, Brittany Hendrickson, Sam Ruiz, Ann Ward and Robert Watson; NFLA members Raul Allegre, Stevie Lee, Chris McNelley and Dan Neil; and Center for Child Protection’s Anne West.

               “We are pleased with the number of community teams and sponsors who are returning year after year.  Great Smokey Mo’s BBQ, friendly competition and the opportunity to meet former National Football League players make this a fun event, and everyone has a great time,” Labunski said.
