Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – The St. Bernards Foundation has added a dinner to its list of activities at its sixth annual Wings and Clays event, benefiting the St. Bernards Heart Care Center.
The festivities will begin with the Double Barrel Dinner on Saturday, Nov. 1, at 6 p.m. at the St. Bernards Auditorium. The dinner will feature a catfish dinner and drinks, a live auction, raffles, live music by Eli Adams and a mechanical bull.
Then, participants can gear up for the two-day clay shooting tournament Nov. 3-4, at the Jonesboro Shooting Sports Complex, where teams of five will compete in the skeet shooting challenge.
The event will be broken into four flats of shooting to accommodate varying team schedules: Monday morning, Monday afternoon, Tuesday morning, Tuesday afternoon. During each team’s designated session, they will rotate through eight different shooting events.
Alden Weeks, development manager for St. Bernards Development Foundation, said the Foundation started the event in 2016. It began as a shooting competition, with teams traveling to Walnut Ridge to participate in a skeet shooting competition.
For this year, she said, event organizers decided to add a dinner and bring the competition back to Jonesboro.
“It’s a very casual, very fun, laid back, and just an opportunity to get people together and raise a little money for our heart and vascular programs,” Weeks said.
Dinner tickets are $50 each or $400 for a table of eight and can be purchased up to the day of the event. For tickets, click here.
Registration is $1,200 for a team of five and includes breakfast and lunch each day, a commemorative gift and opportunities to win extra prizes. Each member of the overall winning team will also receive an over-under shotgun. To register a team, click here.
“It’s important that we have this program and we support our program and our physicians so that we can continue to have that world-class care right here in Northeast Arkansas,” Weeks said. “We’re really fortunate to have those services available in our community, and it’s important to support that. We’re excited to have an event that gets to raise money for that program.”
