Irlene Mandrell Charity Shoot
Irlene Mandrell will be hosting her Annual Charity Shoot, benefiting Wish Upon A Star, the Boy Scouts of America, and new for 2010, Annabelle’s Wish, from Thursday, July 8th through Sunday, July 10th. This always fun-filled event will be held at the Seven Springs Mountain Resort, one of the premier sporting clays courses in the country, located in southwest Pennsylvania.
 (200 x 289).jpg "Image") This year’s event will be dedicated to Irby Mandrell and named “The Irby Mandrell Memorial Shoot.” Irby passed away in March, 2009. He was the proud father of The Mandrell Sisters: Country “Hall of Fame” inductee Barbara, Louise, and Irlene, from the well-loved and so popular The Mandrell Sisters TV series. The 2010 shoot will emphasize the family values Irby lovingly bestowed upon his daughters and grandchildren. Irlene will be reunited with her sisters for this event to honor and commemorate their Daddy’s outstanding life and achievements.
Over the course of the event, the main competition will consist of 200 rounds of Sporting Clays. Side competitions include 9mm pistol, paintball challenge, wobble trap, 5 stand, tomahawk throwing, .22 revolver, Gamo air rifle, two man flush, terrible teal, and cotton ball drop. Everyone is eligible to compete in these exciting events! No hard-core experience necessary—just have fun!
“Kid’s Day” will take place on the first day of the shoot, Thursday, July 9th. Girls and boys from ages 6 through 17 are encouraged to participate. First-timers, have-shot-a-little-bit, experienced shooters: all will be welcomed. Strictly supervised, participants will try their hand at a wide array of shooting disciplines—from handgun, to rifle, to shotgun, to archery, and more.
Irlene Mandrell has long been associated with the shooting sports. She is equally accomplished with shotgun, rifle, or handgun. Irlene is a spokeswoman (including Dynamic Research Technologies, Smith & Wesson, Deerasic) for the industry, frequently appearing on TV and radio. She is as dedicated to our sport as anyone. Irlene is a loving Mom to three wonderful children, Deric, Vanessa, and Christina. Her many accomplishments in the entertainment industry include singer, percussionist, actress, comedian, as well as spokeswoman for several excellent shooting sports companies. Irlene has been deeply involved in many charities over the years, but Wish Upon A Star, the Boy Scouts of America, and now Annabelle’s Wish, remain closest to her heart.
Celebrating its 21st Anniversary, Wish Upon A Star is an independent charity whose mission is to grant wishes to children ages 3 to18 who have been diagnosed with a terminal or life threatening illness. This organization is rather unique in that 100% of donations for wishes go directly to make wishes come true for these stricken kids. Since its inception, Wish Upon A Star has granted well over 200 of these special wishes, everything from dream hunting and fishing outings, to trips to Disney World, to meeting Michael Jordan. This is why Irlene Mandrell has been so dedicated in supporting this charity.
Seven Springs Mountain Resort, site of the 2010 shoot, is located approximately one hour out of Pittsburgh, in the Laurel Highlands area of Pennsylvania. Situated on 5,500 beautiful acres, Seven Springs Mountain Resort is home to one of the premier shooting facilities in the country.
Mark these dates on your calendar—July 8th through the 28th! Get on a jet, board Amtrak, pack up the car—don’t forget the kids—and join Irlene Mandrell for Irlene’s 2010 Charity Shoot.
