In 2024, The Kids & Clays Foundation partnered with participating Ronald McDonald House Charities Chapters and Conservation Clubs across the country to hold 47 events in 23 states. Through hard work, careful planning utilizing all safety precautions possible, and with tremendous sponsor support, a record amount of funds were raised benefiting tens of thousands of critically ill children and their families across the country.
The funds generated through 47 Sporting Clays and other Events held in 23 states was a record $4.5 million which directly supported local RMHC Chapters. This was only possible with tremendous sponsor support and simply was a tremendous achievement. The total raised since our inception in 1999 is $41 million. All for critically ill children and their families. Nearly 7,000 shooters participated in Kids & Clays/RMHC Chapter events nationwide. More than 750,000 clay targets were thrown in Kids & Clays supported events in 2024. Kids & Clays also continued its tarpon fishing tournament in 2024. It was the largest tournament of its kind in the Florida Keys raising thousands of dollars to benefit RMHC Chapters nationwide.
Our sponsors and their products were directly promoted to more than 100,000 people in 2024 with hands-on experience, This not only includes the attendees at our events but also marketing efforts to participating RMHC Chapters circle of influence and at 18 Special Marketing Event sites we facilitated from coast to coast. This level of exposures combined with the mission continues to make donations to the Kids & Clays Foundation a great value for companies and individual supporters alike.
Thanks to the funds generated by the Kids & Clays Foundation through numerous supporters from companies to individuals, participating RMHC Chapters are keeping 250 families with critically ill children together and near the care and resources they need each and every night of the year.
