Due to recent circumstances beyond their control, the organizers of the Ladies Charity Skeet Classic announce that they must cancel this year’s event, which was to have been held April 13-15, 2018. Unforeseen health situations have made it impossible for them to do the preparation in time for this year’s shoot.

Louise Terry and Barry Rich stated, “We do want to encourage the ladies who were planning to attend and who are interested to go ahead with the traditional ‘Cash for the Kids’ campaign in your home areas. Responding to suggestions from several of our participants in 2017, we expanded our 2018 target charities to include both Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) youth shooting programs and Ronald McDonald House Charities. Both are bona fide 501(c)(3) charities, so all donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You, and any of your donors, will be able to specify a preference for their donation to be directed to one or the other, or both split 50/50.”

You can start your efforts anytime from now to April 15 and mail your proceeds to:

Barry Rich
388 Harper St.
Chattanooga, TN 37405

Checks should be made payable to either Ronald McDonald House Charities or the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF). All donations will be acknowledged for tax purposes.

To recognize donors’ help in keeping their event going, the LCSC organization will award prizes to the top two ‘Cash for the Kids’ fundraisers.

“We realize there are a number of you who have already started to make plans to attend the shoot this April,” said Terry and Rich, “and we sincerely apologize for having to make this tough decision at this late moment. We will keep everyone informed as to future plans and our ‘Cash for the Kids’ results after April 15.

“Thank you to all of our ladies who have been past participants for your continued interest, your loyalty, and most of all for your support. We hope to have things back on track for 2019! If you have any questions, please give either of us a call or drop an email.”
