The 11th annual T-Bone Memorial Clay Shoot hosted by Mortenson’s Denver office July 23 raised $25,000 for American Military Families, an organization that supports returning servicemen and women and their families. The clay shoot was established in 2005 to help build adaptive construction for veterans returning from duty with disabilities, and the partnership with AMF was established in 2009. The annual event involves individual and team clay shooting competitions. This year, more than 200 shooters attended, the largest participation in the event’s history. The support of the shooters’ entry fees and event sponsors resulted in the donation. “We are extremely appreciative of Mortenson’s efforts, along with the support of their trade partners, for all the support that was so generously given,” said American Military Family founder Debbie Quackenbush McElhinney. “We’re pleased to be able to support American Military Families and our veterans who have so selflessly served and sacrificed,” said John Pole, field operations manager for Mortenson’s Denver office. “American Military Families helps those veterans who, upon return from active duty, find themselves struggling in one way or another,” he added.
