About This Event
Ten Mile River Preserve, Dover Plains, NY
Please join us as we host the Ernest C. Trefz Memorial Sporting Clays Invitational at the Ten Mile River Preserve in Dover Plains, NY on Friday, August 21, 2020. Help us make a difference in the lives of families with critically ill children from the Hudson Valley and beyond.
Ten Mile River Preserve offers world class stations for the sport of clay pigeon shooting. Often described as golf with a shotgun, the sport differs from skeet and trap shooting in that it involves shooting clays at various locations which are launched at different velocities and angles.
This is the ninth year for our sporting clay event and the third year the event is being held in memory of the late Ernest C. Trefz. Mr. Trefz was a McDonald's Owner Operator, philanthropist and avid outsdoorsman. He was also the founder of the Ernest C. Trefz School of Business at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut.
Individual tickets cost $250 per person and sponsorship opportunities are available. 12 gauge and 20 gauge guns and ammo will be provided.
