The Hanley Foundation and the Jensen Beach-based Mark Garwood Foundation will host the Eighth Annual Shoot for the Moon on November 1, at the South Florida Shooting Club in Palm City.

The day of fun and friendly competition begins at 7:30 a.m. with registration, breakfast, and a raffle. After a welcome from the Garwood family and a short safety briefing, participants will make their way to the competition courses. Following the event, guests will enjoy a lunch cooked by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office’s BBQ Grill Team, a live auction, an awards ceremony, and the introduction of the 2025 Mark Garwood Phoenix Scholarship recipients.

Proceeds from the Shoot for the Moon event will help Hanley Foundation support the Mark Garwood Phoenix Scholarship program, which awards scholarships to adults in South Florida who are in recovery, committed to long-term sobriety, and ready to begin or continue their education. Eligible recipients must be in financial need and live in St. Lucie, Martin, Okeechobee, Palm Beach, or Broward counties.

The Mark Garwood Foundation was founded in 2014 by Stuart residents Erica and John Garwood, in honor of their son, Mark. Since 2015, the foundation has provided more than $485,000 in scholarships to 67 adults in Florida. These recipients have moved on to earn degrees in nursing, social work, accounting, and business administration.

Tickets are $350 per person. Individuals and team members are responsible for providing their own firearms. For more information and to RSVP, visit hanleyfoundation.org/events/shoot-for-the-moon.
