West Palm Beach, Fla. (November 19, 2024) – The Hanley Foundation and the Mark Garwood Foundation raised $120,000 during the 8th Annual Shoot for the Moon on Friday, November 1, at the South Florida Shooting Club in Palm City, Fla. This year’s event marked a milestone as the Hanley Foundation officially partnered with the Mark Garwood Foundation to continue to provide education scholarships for individuals in recovery from substance use disorder (SUD).
After a warm welcome from the Garwood family and a safety briefing, more than 188 shooters took the field for the friendly competition. Participants and guests enjoyed a barbecue lunch prepared by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office Grill Team, a live auction, and an awards ceremony for individual and team winners. Nine new recipients were awarded Mark Garwood Phoenix Scholarships for the 2025 academic cycle at the luncheon.
Since its inception in 2015, 76 Mark Garwood Phoenix Scholarships have been awarded and more than $540,000 in financial aid provided to individuals who are actively in recovery, committed to long-term sobriety, and ready to begin or continue their education. More than 90% of recipients successfully maintain long-term sobriety while participating in the scholarship program.
For the fifth consecutive year, the Murgado Automotive Group of Stuart (Audi, Infiniti, Maserati, and Alfa Romeo) generously supported the event as Presenting Sponsor.
