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, October 30, 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.
Due to NY State regulations regarding COVID-19, space is limited this year. Register today!

In Support of Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley
At Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley we envision a world where every family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children. Thanks to our community of supporters we can offer families compassionate care by creating and running programs aimed at improving the health and well-being of sick children and their families.
When a child is battling a medical crisis, our House provides families with all the comforts of home and eases some of the burdens they face every day. Together, we continue to enable access to medical care for critically ill children, allowing a family-centered care approach to treatment and giving families what they need most during this critical time -– each other.
