Supporting education was a “blast” at the annual Sporting Clays Tournament hosted by the Blue Ridge Community College Educational Foundation. The Oct. 28 event was held at the Cleghorn Gun Club in Rutherfordton and raised over $17,000. It brought together College partners and donors who share a desire to expand educational opportunities through Blue Ridge.
Following the event, Vice President for Advancement Lisa Adkins expressed her gratitude to those who invested in education through their love of marksmanship.
