In the heart of Tampa Bay, the West Coast Roofing Contractors Association’s (WCRCA) 7th Annual Sporting Clays Event unfolded as a resounding success last month. The picturesque Tampa Bay Sporting Clays venue set the stage for an exceptional day of camaraderie, competition and community engagement, bringing together 155 shooters from the roofing industry and beyond.
The event underscored the generosity and compassion inherent in the roofing industry. As the roofers assembled, it was evident that their commitment extended beyond professional endeavors. The collective spirit of giving back to the community and supporting local businesses became a focal point, creating an atmosphere of unity and a shared purpose.
A heart-felt aspect of the event was the sponsorship of 20 veterans, four Gold Star Family members and four First Responders, emphasizing the industry’s dedication to acknowledging and supporting those who have made significant sacrifices. The outing not only provided these individuals with a day of recreation but also served as a heartfelt tribute to their service.
Eight dedicated volunteers worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the seamless execution of the event. Their commitment and hard work played a pivotal role in the day’s success, embodying the roofing community’s collaborative and supportive ethos.
The overwhelming support from sponsors was a testament to the industry’s collective commitment. Over 25 businesses and organizations contributed generously to the event, showcasing a shared dedication to positively impacting the community. Their financial contributions culminated in an impressive $5,000 raised for the Black Dagger Military Hunt Club.
Each shooter was presented with a commemorative challenge coin as a lasting token of the event. These coins serve as tangible reminders of the collective effort made by the roofing industry to support a worthy cause and unite in creating a meaningful difference in the lives of those who have served our country.
The success of the 7th Annual Sporting Clays Event has set the stage for an even brighter future. Plans are already in motion for the 8th annual event in 2025, with aspirations to surpass this year’s achievements and continue the tradition of positively impacting the community. The legacy of this remarkable charity event will undoubtedly serve as an enduring source of inspiration for the roofing industry, fostering a spirit of collaboration and compassion for years to come.
