Third Annual Breast
Cancer Shoot Out

Golf outings, family walks and raffles may be the traditional fundraising methods, but what about trapshooting? Beloit Memorial Hospital is proud to be the recipient of funds raised from the third annual Breast Cancer Shoot Out. The friends and family of Shirley Hood started the Shoot Out in 2004 to help prevent and fight the cancer that took Shirley’s life. The day focuses on the trapshooting event, but includes food, a merchandise sale, raffles, a ribbon ceremony and educational opportunities.

The goal is to make sure there are funds available for those who need a mammogram. Shirley’s friends and family would like the funds to stay in our area to help women who need diagnostic and financial assistance. The trapshooting event took place on Saturday, Oct. 7, at the Izaak Walton Conservation Club in Beloit and is Wisconsin’s second largest breast cancer fundraising event.
