The event will take place at a premier shooting facility, providing participants an opportunity to engage in a friendly competition while remembering the courage and sacrifices of service members. Details include expert-led shooting clinics, raffles, and auctions, all aimed at maximizing contributions to the benefiting charities.
Community Engagement and Local Significance
The event holds particular resonance for communities across Utah, including Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs, where military families form an integral part of the societal fabric. In recent decades, both cities have seen a significant influx of military personnel and veterans, with local government initiatives and events often focusing on veteran appreciation and support.
In Lehi, veteran-focused organizations have been pivotal, contributing to community well-being and offering extensive services to former service members and their families. The Gold Star Clay Shoot aligns with ongoing efforts to honor those who have served and to support their families who continue to endure the loss of their loved ones.
Cedar Fort and Fairfield, despite being smaller communities, have long histories of military service among residents, reinforcing the importance of such events in highlighting patriotic spirit and community solidarity.
Impactful Beneficiaries
The raised funds will benefit several key nonprofit organizations. These include Operation Family Fund, which provides financial assistance to families of those who have died or been disabled as a result of serving their country, and the Fallen Patriot Fund, dedicated to easing the financial burdens on military families.
Past iterations of this event have recorded significant success in both participant turnout and fundraising, ensuring that the memories of the brave are met with the community’s gratitude and support.
Locally, the event provides residents of northern Utah County an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to these causes while enjoying the spirit of camaraderie and competition. Enthusiasts and supporters alike are called to participate or attend, making this not just an event, but a community gathering.
We salute all those who have served and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, their goal is to support the families who carry on and to reinforce our commitment to the causes that matter to our communities and our nation.
Ongoing Legacy of Support
This event succinctly embodies the ethos of Mortenson Construction’s engagement with veteran causes. By creating platforms where appreciating military sacrifices and community support coincide, the company continues to nurture its legacy of service and community involvement.
