Hi Everyone! Tina here! I know everybody is curious about how much money was donated to MSTI from the Shoot for a Cure 2010. Rhonda Gibson and I met with the women from St.Luke's today. After all the checks for expenses have cleared we donated $6835.29
. What a great thing the shooting community did by supporting this cause.
We did discuss some of the things we would like them to provide for us since they have been getting all the money raised by this event for 3 years.(Year 1 Komen got $50.00) The stuff for the goody bags that I asked for was about the same as in years past . We missed the bandannas and chap stik and personal first aid kits this year. Hopefully those will be there next year.
The number one thing we want is for the shooting community to be recognized for being the generous group of people and businesses that support our area!!! Please know that we have tried every year to get the media involved with this event. We have some new ideas that we will work on for next year.
We are open to suggestions on this and any other aspect of the Shoot for a Cure. We have gotten some good ones so far. Next year we will have handicap parking for those that need it. Also for all you experienced shooters that found it to easy this year, thank you for bearing with us and helping support the cause. Next year we will have beginning and experienced shooter boxes to make it more of a challenge.
So thanks again to everyone that helped with Shoot for a Cure 2010. I have received many complements on how smoothly it went and how quickly we got 224 shooters through shooting, lunch, and the prize table.We also had only minor injuries this year. Must have been having those good luck charms of trained RO's, safety officers, EMT's, and first responders there.
I hope everyone had a great time and is looking forward to the 4th Annual Shoot for a Cure. We will start working on it at SHOT Show in Vegas in Jan 2011.
