Newport Beach, CA. (May 6, 2011) – A team of veterans from the Wounded Warrior Project were among the 135 shooters who raised more than an estimated $160,000 at the 30th Annual Hoag Charity Shoot, benefiting the Hoag Hospital Newport Beach, Hoag Hospital Irvine, seven Hoag Health Centers and three Hoag Urgent Care Centers located throughout Orange County.
Presented by Hoag’s 552 Club, Turner’s Outdoorsman and Honorary Chairman Tim Abell (Grateful Nation), the clay target shooting event took place on April 29, 2011 at Triple B Clays Shotgun Park in South El Monte, CA. Gene Lumsden, president and CEO of Turner’s Outdoorsman and Marcus Berry, co-founder of Drive for a Cause co-chaired the event.
This event was also held in the memory of Kristin McNulty, daughter of John and Nina Townsend. Townsend has been a long-time supporter and participant of the charity shoot and last year, was honored with the Vin Jorgensen Award.
“The Hoag 552 Club is like family and events like this give us the opportunity to support the dedication of Hoag’s doctors and nurses to their patients,” Berry said, “It is really special to be part of an event with such heritage and tireless support from volunteers and the community.”
“Turner’s is proud to partner in this important event that marked 30 years of raising awareness and widening the circle of support for Hoag Hospital,” said Lumsden who, in 2005, was inducted in the California Trap Shooting Hall of Fame for twice tying the world record in competitive trap shooting. Lumsden is a partner in Legacy Sports International, an importer of firearms based in Reno, Nevada, and Turner’s Outdoorsman, a 14-store retail chain based in Southern California.
The Charity Shoot co-chairs and committee members would like to thank all major contributors for this year’s event, including Fred Erdtsieck of Summit Plastering, Steve Selock of Able Services; John Curci of Dbac, Craig Martin of Jacobs, Vince McGuinness, Paul Holzschuh, Rick Ehrke, Straub Distributing, and all other underwriters, sponsors and volunteers for their generous contributions.
The Annual Hoag Charity Shoot has raised more than $1.5 million for Hoag since its inception in 1981 and has attracted more than 3,000 shooters.
