Location Overview

Fork Farm is a premier outdoor and event facility located at the edge of NC's Uwharrie National Forest. It offers challenging sporting clay courses designed by John Higgins and Charles Cooper to simulate the action of hunting your favorite game. However, with minimal training, even someone who has never shot before can participate in a round of sporting clays, while enjoying the pristine, natural surroundings of the Fork Farm.

Event Overview

We're excited to introduce yet another great networking opportunity, the 2nd Annual Sporting Clays Championship - Presented by: NEXSEN PRUET.

Twenty one years ago $25,000 in seed funds from Carolinas AGC founded the Foundation for the Carolina's Construction Industry. Since then the Foundation has raised over $490,000 and has distributed over $60,000 in scholarships to students seeking to enter the construction industry.

The Foundation's initial objective was to provide scholarships to students at the eight colleges, universities, and technical schools in the Carolinas offering a construction management curriculum. Today, its objectives are broader and more aggressive-- the Foundation allocates funds to:

• Increase interest in craftworker training,
• Encourage counselors and high school instructors to support construction careers,
• Support instructor training in order to improve the skills of craftworker trainees in the vocational schools,
• Grants and scholarships supporting various construction-related projects.

The most successful continuing fundraising activity has been the annual golf benefit by Carolinas AGC and its members. In twenty years it has raised over $320,000. The single most profitable fundraising program was Carolinas AGC's 75th Anniversary commemorative sculpture, JACK, by Tom Clark, contributing $120,000. Jack was retired in 2000.

The Foundation permanently endowed five scholarships. Students attending one of the five major Universities in North or South Carolina with an Accredited Construction Department are eligible for grants up to $2,500 annually.

With your help we hope to continue to build our Foundation reserves so we can operate with the interest income from invested funds. To date a small amount of principal, along with interest income, has funded selected projects.

The Carolinas AGC Supplier / Service Company Advisory Board thanks all those who have participated in the annual golf event and other fundraising activities. Your support has made our Foundation grow and has created opportunities for programs of value to the industry.
