The MAX4Kids Foundation’s 8th Annual Charity Clay Shoot, held on April 16, 2025, at Lower Wetumpka Shotgun Sports Club, was a lively and meaningful event that rallied community support for local children’s programs and scholarship initiatives (mymax.com).


Teams of four took on a challenging 18-station course, putting their skills to the test while enjoying a day filled with friendly competition and encouragement. Awards were presented to top-performing individuals and teams, and a series of raffles added even more excitement for participants (waka.com).


Carter Photography & Design had the privilege of capturing the day’s moments, documenting everything from the intense competition to the lighter moments of fellowship and fun. With the help of Chris Searcy, we provided a full range of professional photography and videography services to showcase the spirit of the event.


Beyond the shooting stations and prizes, the heart of the clay shoot remained focused on the mission of MAX4Kids. Since its founding in 2001, the Foundation has made a lasting impact, donating over $1.5 million to children’s charities and awarding more than $745,000 in scholarships to deserving high school seniors (mymax.com).


The energy and support displayed during the 8th Annual Clay Shoot highlight the generosity of our community and the ongoing commitment to building brighter futures for young people. MAX4Kids has more opportunities ahead for those who wish to get involved, including the next major event, the MAX4Kids Annual Golf Tournament, scheduled for October 15, 2025.


We were honored to be part of such an important day, capturing the memories that celebrate both achievement and generosity.
