Jimmy Simpson Foundation Postpones Clay Shoot Fundraiser to April 2022

ROCK SPRING, Ga. (September 20, 2021) – The Jimmy Simpson Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing exceptional care to the traumatic brain injury community, has postponed to April 2022 its first annual Clay Shoot, which had been set to take place October 14-15.

“We were holding out hope that we would be able to still have this wonderful event next month, however, out of an abundance of caution, we want to do our part to protect all of the members of our community due to the coronavirus upswing in the Tennessee Valley. The date change just means that we will have to wait a little longer, but we are still very excited and looking forward to our first annual Clay Shoot,” said Vickie Hodge, CEO of the Jimmy Simpson Foundation.

Proceeds from the event will go towards the foundation’s capital campaign, Foundations for the Future, which is aimed at expanding its Safehaven facility in Walker County, Ga., from 12 to 18 beds to accommodate the rising need for resources for traumatic brain injured and ventilator-dependent individuals in the Chattanooga area. The expanded facility will increase in size to approximately 31,000 square feet, with 28,000 square feet being dedicated to direct services. 

“Every single person who contributes to this event is helping us change lives. By moving the date of the Clay Shoot out a bit, we are able to extend the window for businesses to sign up as sponsors. This also gives participants a chance to continue working on their shooting before they show off their skills in the tournament. We will announce information at a later date,” said Hodge.

ABOUT JIMMY SIMPSON FOUNDATION - ROCK SPRING, GA

The Jimmy Simpson Foundation is dedicated to providing the best quality care for the brain injury community. It was founded as a 501c3 organization by Carol Simpson after her husband, Jimmy, suffered an anoxic brain injury as a result from a fall out of a hospital bed after surgery. While searching for long term placement for Jimmy, it was difficult to find an environment that fostered individuality as well as provided a safe home environment. As with many non-profit organizations, the family saw a need within the brain injury community and stepped up to meet that need.
