In Case You Missed It
This year to ensure the safety of our volunteers, staff, and donors,
we hosted our first virtual event. Watch the video and see what you missed!
Is Starts In The Heart
The Joseph Sams School students created a video with a theme of connection and hope. The video features a message from our BOD President, Wayne Hillis, an instrumental song, individual students’ smiles, dances, and messages from their hearts.
We appreciate Ms. Caroline and the JSS staff for leading the students, showcasing their many strengths and abilities, all while allowing them to shine!

A fun and unique event, the Sporting Clay Tournament attracts participants from local and surrounding communities, and primarily targets those in the construction industry. Held at Big Red Oak Plantation in Gay, GA, the tournament attracts roughly 300 shooters, and is graciously hosted by Michael Harbin, Allen Harp, Brent Scarbrough, and Bob Rolader. Year after year, this event is always met with great support and comradeship, and it provides a generous gift to The Joseph Sams School.
We recognize that the Covid-19 pandemic continues to cause many uncertainties for all of us and the school remains considerate of this. We feel the Sporting Clay remains a safe alternative. Numerous precautionary measures will be taken for the safety of all participants. If you are not comfortable, but would still like to participate, you may donate a team. After all, the students and families are counting on us now more than ever.
The tournament schedule is provided below. We will begin at 8:00am with breakfast, and conclude around noon with a home cooked barbeque lunch, raffle prizes and awards ceremony.
8:00 am Registration and Breakfast

A fall favorite, the event was designed to raise both funds and awareness for The Joseph Sams School and it attracts over 350 people. The evening includes good friends, a BBQ dinner prepared onsite by our Cooking Crew and Camp Southern Ground’s Chef Collins, an auction, SEC football and live music.
After cancelling the event last year in 2020, we are looking forward to having it again in 2021.
