Foundation Holds 6th Annual
Tom Manatt Memorial
Sporting Clays Tournament

For the second year in a row nearly 100 shooters were treated to beautiful May weather and plenty of camaraderie on May 9 th for the Foundation’s sixth sporting clays fundraising tournament. The tournament is in memory of Tom Manatt. Tom was an avid outdoorsman and devoted participant in the AGC of Iowa Foundation Sporting Clays Tournament.

The fun was non-stop for the 19 five-person teams who tested their skills on the difficult Steelclay Shooting Sports course in Eddyville. The tournament was a winner for the Foundation too with over $7000 in proceeds that will help support scholarship programs, as well as coordinating workforce development and educational initiatives in partnership with AGC of Iowa. Many, many thanks go to the sponsors and shooters who by their participation came out in support of the Foundation. Our deepest gratitude goes to:
