Shooters Gather to Blast Clays for a Good Cause

SAN ANGELO, Texas – Shooting enthusiasts and supporters of the men and women of law enforcement gathered Saturday morning at the San Angelo Claybird Association range to have fun, shoot clays and raise some funds for the Tom Green County Sheriff's Department and the San Angelo Police Department.  

Back the Badge is an annual sporting clays tournament benefiting the San Angelo Police Department and Tom Green County Sheriff’s Office.

The event was founded in 2019 with the support of San Angelo Chief of Police Frank Carter and Tom Green County Sheriff David Jones. A Board of Directors was formed from community members and agency employees. The Board elected to sponsor an annual sporting clay shoot as a fundraiser benefiting these Departments, as well as all law enforcement efforts within Tom Green County, Texas. The annual spring sporting clay shoot has benefited each department with the necessary funds to upgrade facilities and equipment. In 2020, San Angelo Back the Badge received our 501c3 status for charitable tax deductions. We continue to support the efforts of all law enforcement within Tom Green County, Texas
