Davidson Realty has announced its 2nd Annual Davidson Cares Shooting For SAYS event will feature a Cooler & Cocktail raffle drawing benefiting SAYS and St. Johns Housing Partnership, the latter to aid with Hurricane Irma recovery. The event is set for Thursday, October 19, at Jacksonville Clay Target Sports. All event proceeds will go to SAYS (St. Augustine Youth Services). Last year’s event raised $30,000 for SAYS and participants enjoyed an afternoon of sport shooting and fun.

“I’d never shot a gun before. Hitting my first target was like catching my first wave or hitting my first flush golf shot.  What a thrill—and I won a prize,” said Andrew Colavito of Toll Brothers Luxury Homes. “The Davidson Family showed amazing hospitality. Sherry (Davidson) herself graciously taught me everything I now know about shooting, and it felt good to do it to benefit SAYS. I had a blast!” 

Davidson Cares will split proceeds from this year’s raffle with St. Johns Housing Partnership, which will use its proceeds to help local residents recover from the effects of Hurricane Irma. Davidson’s portion will help SAYS to provide a safe home for boys who have endured abuse and severe neglect. The raffle prize is valued at approximately $400. It includes an RTIC 45-quart rotomolded cooler, Cabela’s canvas shooting bag, Jacksonville Clay Target Sports polo shirt, a various assortment of liquors and two RTIC tumblers.  The event will also feature a charity silent auction to benefit St. Johns Housing Partnership, which will include sports memorabilia, golf passes and other prizes.

 Participants may shoot 100 sporting clays for minimum donation of $150, or 50 skeet targets for a minimum $75 donation. New shooters may receive instruction while shooting 25 skeet targets for minimum donation of $75. Shooters at all skill levels are invited to participate individually or as a team. All shooters will receive an event T-shirt, lunch, shotgun shells and refreshments during the awards ceremony.
