Each year a benefit shoot is held to support the efforts of the American Cancer Society in conducting breast cancer research. Named to honor the memory of Club member Margaret Sommerfeld, the shoot is a fun event with shooting games, raffles, food, and fun for all ages, while proceeds from the event support the very serious subject of cancer research with on this deadly disease. Family members and friends continue to play a major role in organizing and conducting this annual event, but always welcome the assistance of others in conducting a major fundraiser.
Check in with a Board member about how you can help support this important contribution of Club members. The event annually raises about $10,000 for this most worthy cause, and has contributed over $30,000 throughout the history of this event to date. Join in as a participant; check the calendar elsewhere on this website for more information. DSC is all about promoting healthy and safe sport with families, youth, and friends, and this event represents a signature opportunity for Club members to “walk the walk”. Please consider joining in the fun, and supporting the event through a gift or contribution!
