The BIG Clay Shoot
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Sun Coast is excited to announce The BIG Clay Shoot, a premier sporting and fundraising event taking place on Friday, March 6, 2026, at Sarasota Trap, Skeet & Clays, one of the region’s top shooting facilities. This annual event is designed to bring together business leaders, corporate teams, first responders, and community partners for a day of friendly competition, camaraderie, and community impact.
The BIG Clay Shoot provides an opportunity for participants to experience a high-energy clay shooting tournament that challenges skill, teamwork, and focus, while fostering connections among Sarasota County’s professional and civic community. Proceeds from this event directly support Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Sun Coast’s mission to ignite the power and promise of youth by creating meaningful, one-to-one mentoring relationships. Through these relationships, local youth gain guidance, encouragement, and the tools necessary to achieve their full potential in school, in the community, and in life.
Participants will enjoy a BBQ lunch to kick off the event, followed by a shotgun-start tournament, with multiple shooting stations and opportunities for friendly competition. Teams can include corporate colleagues, first responders, or community groups, making the event not only a challenge of skill but also a networking and relationship-building opportunity. Each participant plays a direct role in creating a lasting impact on the lives of children and teens across Sarasota County, Englewood, and Port Charlotte, helping provide them with mentors who can make a difference during formative years.
The BIG Clay Shoot is open to both individuals and teams, with sponsorship opportunities available for local businesses and organizations that want to demonstrate their support for youth development in the region. Sponsorships provide high visibility for participating organizations while directly benefiting BBBS programs and services.
