Clay Shooting Event 'Aims' For Disease's Cure

A fundraiser will be held Saturday, April 13, at Tampa Bay Sporting Clays in Land O' Lakes that will benefit the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance.

Friedreich’s ataxia is a progressive neuromuscular disease, and organizers of a fundraiser Saturday are aiming for a cure, so to speak.

The Hunters and Liars Club is hosting a clay shooting event April 13 at Tampa Bay Sporting Clays in Land O’ Lakes. Money raised will benefit the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance.

“The event will feature an eight-station shooting course, a five-stand warm-up, chair massages, cooking and wine seminars for non-shooters, raffles, live entertainment and dinner catered by Carrabba’s Italian Grill,” according to a news release.
