The Jimmy Simpson Foundation Announces Chattanooga Auto Square as 2023 Clay Shoot Presenting Sponsor

Funds raised via event sponsorships will support the Foundations for the Future campaign, which is aimed at expanding the foundation’s Safehaven facility in North Georgia.

ROCK SPRING, Ga. (April 12, 2023) – As the Jimmy Simpson Foundation gears up for its second annual Clay Shoot coming up in June, the nonprofit has announced that Chattanooga Auto Square will be serving as the event’s Presenting Sponsor. 

As the head sponsor, Chattanooga Auto Square, which is an Infinity; Land Rover; Jaguar and Porsche dealer located at 2915 Yerbey Drive in Chattanooga, TN, will have two teams participating in the Clay Shoot taking place June 1-2, 2023. They will have their logo prominently displayed during the event and will be making a donation to the Jimmy Simpson Foundation's Funds of the Future campaign.

The Foundations for the Future campaign is aimed at expanding the foundation’s Safehaven facility in Walker County, Ga., from 12 to 24 beds to accommodate the rising need for resources for traumatic brain injured and ventilator-dependent individuals in the Greater Chattanooga region. Once completed, the expanded facility will grow to approximately 31,000 square feet, with 28,000 of that space dedicated to direct services.

“When our team learned that Chattanooga Auto Square agreed to serve as our Presenting Sponsor, we were ecstatic. The Clay Shoot provides an exciting opportunity for individuals and businesses across the area to join us in helping individuals with traumatic brain injuries. This year is our foundation’s 25th anniversary, and the funds raised from this event are going to support us as we move forward in our journey to build a new facility and add new services,” Vickie Hodge, CEO of Safehaven and the Jimmy Simpson Foundation, said. 

“We love being a part of our entire community! The greatest honor is serving the needs that make our place unique where even the marginalized among us are served. Thank you for allowing us the chance to give back a little where we may!” Virgil Edwards, Executive General Manager at Chattanooga Auto Square said. 

A limited number of sponsorship opportunities for the event, which will take place June 1-2, 2023, at the Beretta Shooting Grounds by High Adventure Company at Barnsley Resort in Kingston, Ga, are still available. Open sponsorship opportunities currently range from $500 for a Bag Sponsor to $5,000 for a Sharpshooter Sponsorship.

Supporting sponsorships ranging from $1,000 to $2,500 are also available for businesses interested in contributing to the cause without participating in the actual tournament.

“We’ve had several other incredible area businesses agree to sponsor this year’s event, but we still have opportunities for other individuals and companies that would like to get involved. We understand that each company’s financial situation is different, so we’ve created a number of varying sponsorship options for the event. Whether you come alongside us and serve as a Sharpshooter Sponsor or a Bag Sponsor, we are grateful for your contribution,” Hodge added. 

The Jimmy Simpson Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and all sponsorships are tax-deductible.

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.
