Last month District Attorney General Jared Effler and staff, in partnership with the Children’s Centers of the 8th Judicial District, hosted the Eighth Annual Dixie Roofing Clays for Children Sporting Clays Tournament at Iron Mountain Sporting Clays in Kodak, Tennessee. The purpose of the event was to raise money to support the Children’s Centers of the 8th Judicial District, comprised of Campbell, Claiborne, Fentress, Scott, and Union counties. With 138 teams and 545 individual shooters participating, this year’s event was the largest to date.
The Children’s Centers of the 8th Judicial District serve hundreds of children each year and work closely with local law enforcement and the District Attorney General’s Office. They assist with medical examinations, forensic interviews, counseling and court proceedings. The services the centers provide help to ensure that justice is served upon the perpetrators of crimes against children and help victims navigate the court system and receive the resources they need.
Effler stated: “My staff and I are extremely grateful for the overwhelming support shown for the 9th Annual Dixie Roofing Sporting Clays Tournament. Our communities once again stepped up and met the needs of our Children’s Centers – ensuring that they can continue to serve the children of our district. Words cannot describe my appreciation to everyone who contributed to the success of this year’s event.”
The District Attorney General’s Office is pleased to announce that this year’s tournament netted $115,000, a new record total for the event. This money will help ensure that our Children’s Centers can continue their worthy mission of serving abused and neglected children.
Next year’s event is scheduled for Thursday, October 2, and Friday October 3, 2025.
