Take Aim at EMEPA’s Annual Shoot For a Cure

Mark your calendars and get out your shotguns! EMEPA's beloved Shoot For A Cure is back, bringing together community members and businesses for two days of fun competition and fundraising for a vital cause.

Born over a decade ago as a Relay for Life event, the sporting clays extravaganza (March 21-22) at Camp Binachi Shooting Sports in Lauderdale County has transformed into a regional phenomenon, raising critical funds for cancer patients and their families. Its impact resonates throughout the community, supporting both the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Anderson Regional Cancer Center Patient Benevolence Fund.

"The smiles on the patients' faces when we visit the cancer center with the fundraising check are what truly matter," says event coordinator Margaret Brewer. "It's a humbling reminder that EMEPA makes a real difference in people's lives."

This year, the bar is set high with a goal to surpass last year's record of $35,000 and 103 teams by reaching $38,000 and 115 teams. Join the movement! Register a 2-person team for $240 or become a sponsor at $250. Participants may also register as a 2-person team and receive a stand sponsorship for $400.

Beyond the thrill of the competition, exciting raffles add to the fun. Win a Glock 43X 9mm handgun courtesy of Thomas Gun and Pawn or take home a Ruger 10-22 rifle from Rock House Gun and Pawn. Grab your chance for just $1. Tickets are available at any EMEPA office.

Support a crucial cause while enjoying a competitive day. For registration details, sponsorship inquiries, or any other information, call Brewer at (601) 581-8602 or via email. “Let's make this 11th anniversary a resounding success,” said Brewer. “Shoot For A Cure, and together, we can aim for a future free of cancer.”
