In 1998, a group of construction executives who enjoyed shooting sports together decided to create an event to raise money for local organizations directly helping children. Since its inception, the Charity Clay Shoot has donated more than $400,000 to support children around the state of Michigan.

ABC/WMC is proud to announce Hunt 2 Heal as the 2022 charity recipient. In November a $48,000 check was presented to this organization, the highest donation amount in the history of this event. 
Hunt 2 Heal is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide accessible, safe and comfortable outdoor experiences to people with physical disabilities to improve mental health. A barrier free lodge and 640 acres of accessible land provide an outdoor haven for hunting and other outdoor activities that removes many of the barriers to reconnect with nature.
