Atlanta Charity Clays

Atlanta Charity Clays started in 1991 when two sportsmen decided to do something different: combine a day outdoors shooting clays with raising money for kids' charities. That first idea turned into one of the biggest sporting clay events in America. Since then, ACC has contributed over $4.6 million to Atlanta area children's causes.

Every spring, ACC runs a multi-day experience designed for field sports enthusiasts and professionals who want to network while supporting charity.

Participants range from occasional shooters to top-tier professionals and national champions. Most are executives and professionals who use the event to entertain clients, network with colleagues, or simply connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts. The tournament is designed to be welcoming to all skill levels while maintaining professional scoring.

"With safety in mind first and foremost, the ACC Tournament is for anyone who enjoys shooting and the outdoors and provides a fun environment that is great for socializing and networking."

ACC operates as a 501(c)3 nonprofit. A finance committee of senior financial professionals oversees accounting, and the books are reviewed annually by a public accounting firm. The organization prioritizes high net contribution margins—meaning sponsorship dollars go directly to charities rather than overhead.

Burge Club has been in the same family since 1809. It operates as a private club, farm, shooting preserve, and entertainment facility. The sporting clays course is customized annually for ACC and features challenging shots set in wooded terrain with beautiful grounds.

Five Arrow Farms provides an equally impressive setting for Gold Sponsors' Day, with a walking course that tests shooting skills and lake views to enjoy while dining.

Volunteers can register for the 2026 event. Sponsorship levels range from individual ticket purchases to major corporate partnerships. All shooters receive an Atlanta Charity Clays hat and pin signifying their support.

ACC is run by a dedicated committee of male and female community leaders who handle all aspects of event production. The 2026 co-chairs are Cannon Reynolds and Cathryn Embleton. The organization focuses on sustainability and perpetuating the event year after year without compromising quality.

Address: 1000 Northfield Ct., Suite 120 Roswell, GA 30076
