Join us Sunday, October 18th, 2026 for a day of adventure, fellowship, and purpose at Clays for a Cause, a sporting clays fundraiser benefiting The NATE Foundation.

More than just a day on the course, Clays for a Cause brings together individuals, businesses, and communities who believe that hope can grow from heartbreak. Every participant, sponsor, and donor helps advance The NATE Foundation's mission of ensuring that no family, school, or community faces sudden loss alone.

Proceeds from this event support the Foundation's work to develop grief resources, provide practical guidance for schools and communities, expand scholarships and fellowships, and create meaningful programs that promote healing, connection, and hope.

Why We Shoot

For Nate, the outdoors wasn't just a place to spend time...it was where he felt most at home.

Whether he was hunting with family and friends, spending the day on the lake, working outdoors, riding dirt bikes and motorcycles, or simply enjoying God's creation, Nate loved the adventure, the camaraderie, and the memories made along the way. He believed that time spent outdoors was never wasted, especially when it was shared with the people you love.

After Nate's unexpected passing in April 2025, our family established The NATE Foundation (Never Another Tragic Ending) to ensure that no family, school, or community has to navigate sudden loss alone. What began as a way to honor Nate's life has grown into a mission dedicated to providing grief resources, practical guidance, scholarships, fellowships, and compassionate support for those whose lives are forever changed by tragedy.

Clays for a Cause is more than a sporting clays tournament, it's a celebration of the things Nate loved most: family, friendship, the outdoors, and a community that shows up for one another.

Every participant registered, every sponsorship, and every donation helps The NATE Foundation continue transforming heartbreak into healing. Together, we are honoring Nate's legacy by creating hope for others and ensuring that his kindness, adventurous spirit, and love for people continue making a difference for generations to come.

Thank you for joining us on the course and for becoming part of Nate's legacy.
