8th Annual Si Robertson Sporting Clay Competition

2023 Si Robertson Clay Shoot Report

To Our Faithful, Generous Sponsors and Participants:

I hope you will accept this as my sincerest, personal thanks for making our biggest annual event, the clay shoot, a complete success. On behalf of the staff, I am happy to report that Homes of Hope received as great an outpouring of love and support this year as any previous year.

The week of the event began with an ominous weather forecast, one which continued through the first day of the event. We prepared for severe thunderstorms and hoped that the forecast would not discourage too many participants. But even though a few of the teams did not make the trip on Thursday, we had a good turnout nonetheless. Overall the number of participants was slightly down in comparison to prior years, yet most contributed anyway. The shooters that came had a great time, and the rain stayed all-around but away from
us. I’m not sure that it is appropriate to ask the Lord to hold the rain off for a sporting event, but I like to believe
that He did because rain never fell either day of the event.

The fact is that every single one of the companies and individuals who have supported us in the past came through for us in this a critical year for our future. So much great fellowship among so many good people strengthened those of us who are working to build this great ministry. The good will and spirit among those who spent their time and resources cooking and serving, organizing and hosting, we are most thankful for.

I cannot name those who contributed without accidentally leaving someone out, so I can only let you know that surely the Lord will bless you with the same sense of fulfillment that comes with charity that He blesses me with daily, and say also that I personally needed your support at this critical time. You all have told me that you don’t want credit or gifts for your sponsorships, that all you want is to know that we are good stewards and are using the proceeds to raise the children in our care. I assure you that we are doing so.

Thank you for making the clay shoot successful, especially this year when we needed it most.

All the best,
Tony Mozingo
