luckysob Report post Posted January 20, 2012 Let me add why we do this every year. This will be the 4 th year we have this great event. Jim Shockey, although he is Canadien, raises funds to help take wounded American soldiers hunting. This is the reason for the weekend event. This year, if his wounds are healed enough, one of our own local heroes will be going to Vancover Island with his dad to hunt Black Bear with Jim Shockey.DJ was wounded in an IED explosion and has gone thru many operations and rehab. DJ is from Tucson,Arizona. We the Arizona Chapter of SCI will be paying for the air fare for both of them. The money raised is split between taking soldiers hunting and conservation projects in Arizona.Last year we funded a new water catchment in 34A, which should be completed next month by AZG&F and volunteers. So even if you cannot make the weekend, your small donation will help in 2 ways, our American Soldiers and conservation in Arizona !! Thanks, Bobby Boido President Arizona Chapter SCI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
