The 15 teams with the highest combined scores will then compete in the elimination round with trophies being presented to the top three teams. The cost to enter is $125 per person and it includes safety instruction, ammunition, loaner shotguns (if needed), clay pigeons, and lunch; sporting clay, raffle tickets and breakfast can be purchased for an additional fee. Annually thise event receives great support. This year’s sponsors include: Lennar Charitable Housing Foundation, Standard Pacific Homes, Shea Homes., iLevel, Phillips Tile and Capital City Drywall.
The Sacramento chapter of HomeAid was established by the North State Building Industry Association (BIA) as a means for the Organization and its members to help give back to the community. HomeAid is a nationwide charitable organization dedicated to building and maintaining dignified housing where homeless families can rebuild their lives.
The construction of each HomeAid project is coordinated through a local builder. The builder inspires the participation of local subcontractors, suppliers, and consultants to bring materials, manpower, and construction management together under the leadership of the builder. By working together as partners, the community and the builder team can accomplish HomeAid's mission of providing housing for the temporarily homeless.
.
To date, HomeAid Sacramento has successfully completed 21 community shelter projects for organizations such as Alpha Henson Women’s Center, Children’s Receiving Home of Sacramento, River Oak Center for Children, Veteran’s Resource Center , the Volunteers of America Winter Shelter and PEACE for Families. HomeAid has four additional projects under development, including a family shelter in Sacramento. Proceeds from the annual trap shoot support this effort.
