One of the premier clay shooting tournaments in the country. Since its inception in 2004, the event has raised more than $9 million for the Light Foundation.

Nearly 500 attendees will enjoy breakfast provided by Dunkin Donuts; lunch by local celebrity chef Vincent Lombardi of The Lyons Group Restaurant Group; appetizers courtesy of The Sausage Guy and Chef Rachel Klein and Aramark/Lifespan; dinner by The Capital Grille; cocktails, wine, and beer by KEEL Vodka, Harpoon Brewery, Fit Vine, and The Boston Harbor Distillery.
Rolling Stogies will once again park its signature mobile cigar lounge tent-side to supply the event with premium cigar options, and Cardi’s Furniture will provide outdoor seating for guests.
The after-party features live music from The Sultans before Light takes the stage to run an unforgettable live auction with help from actor-comedian Lenny Clarke. The day will be capped off by a customized firework display via American Fireworks – known for its stunning displays in major cities around the country.
