Annual Harvest Shoot Benefits Project Self-Sufficiency

The Hudson Farm Club will host a sporting clay shoot to benefit Project Self-Sufficiency on Monday, October 19th. The event will kick off with a light breakfast at 8:30 a.m. Activities on the 4,200-acre hunting preserve will be followed by a festive lunch in the facility’s Crow’s Nest event space. A silent auction will round out the day’s events. Those who are unable to participate in the sporting event are welcome to attend just the celebratory luncheon. All proceeds will benefit Project Self-Sufficiency’s services for low-income families in Sussex, Warren, and Hunterdon Counties.

The Hudson Farm Club has hosted a sporting clay outing on behalf of Project Self-Sufficiency for years. Like a golf outing, the sporting event invites participants to shoot at an assortment of clay targets available at 20 different locations throughout the sprawling grounds. Each shooting station offers a different presentation of targets, allowing participants to simulate game shooting in a variety of ways. Teams will have the opportunity to take aim at 100 clays over the course of 3 ½ hours.

The Hudson Farm Club will provide cartridges, ear and eye protection, and instruction and guidance tailored to each participant’s experience level. With 20 different electronic stations, the Hudson Farm Club provides one of the most extensive shooting layouts in the country. While guests are asked to bring their own break-open shotguns, rentals may be arranged for those who don’t own a gun and/or who may have limited shooting experience.

“We are particularly grateful to the membership of the Hudson Farm Club for their support of this unique event year after year,” commented Deborah Berry-Toon, Chief Executive Officer of Project Self-Sufficiency. “The Harvest Shoot is an important component of Project Self-Sufficiency’s annual fundraising campaign and we rely on the funds raised with this event to assist low-income families in northwestern New Jersey to attain economic self-sufficiency and family stability,”

Project Self-Sufficiency Board of Directors member J.P. Perry has served as event chairperson for several years. “It is exciting to welcome everyone to the Hudson Farm Club. This is a great opportunity to get outside, enjoy a beautiful place, and spread the word about Project Self-Sufficiency.”

A wide range of sponsorship packages for the Harvest Shoot are available; individual tickets can be purchased for $500. For information, visit https://www.projectselfsufficiency.org/autumn-harvest-shoot.
