Texas Dove hunt raises money for sick children Saturday, Sept. 21


In the year Hunt for the Cure has been in Texas, they've reached numerous families and touched countless lives. Now, with the help of local hunters, Hunt for the Cure is shooting for more.

On Saturday, Sept. 21, Hunt for the Cure will host its first annual benefit dove hunt at Nolan Ranch in Erath County. Event organizers said check-in will begin at 5 a.m. and spots are granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration is $60 per hunter and can be paid on the day of the event or pre-register online at www.texashuntforthecure.com.

Hot dogs, chips and drinks will be served throughout the day - and not just for hunters Event organizers are inviting anyone interested in learning about the organization or in helping out, to join them at the ranch. Shirts, hats, visors and more will be available for purchase. Nolan Ranch is located at 755 County Road 230 in Stephenville.

While the organization continues to grow its participation numbers, director Stacy Stanberry said the group's funds are continuing to match thanks to a core group of sponsors and volunteers who keep the charity running. Fundraisers like the hunt and a golf tournament held in March, help to add more children to the list.


Stanberry said all the funds donated and raised go directly to helping take kids on hunts and fishing trips. He said the organization pays for all the meals, overnight stays and even provides vouchers for gas and other travel costs generated by the trips. The locations, hunts, guides and all other hunt or fishing trip expenses are donated and volunteer provided.
