This May was the first time A&K hosted Clays for a Cause.
And the inspiration for the event was to get people on a range, raise some money, and put it toward something meaningful. That something was Buckets of Love, a program A&K has run for several years now. Our team gets together, fills buckets with school supplies, and gets them into the hands of teachers in underserved schools around Charlotte.
This year's shoot funded this year's buckets.
Buckets made their way to schools and students in Clover, York, Rock Hill, and Gastonia, plus a special partnership with Classroom Central, our biggest drop-off this year. In York School District One alone, that meant 50 student buckets and 10 teacher buckets to help students and educators start the year strong. Schools like Lingerfeldt Elementary, Hickory Grove-Sharon Elementary, and Richmond Drive Elementary, a school A&K has had the privilege of supporting year after year, welcomed our team with open arms, and their teachers and staff let us know just how much it meant.
A&K lives and works in Charlotte. That's why we keep showing up for our community, year after year.
We want to thank everyone who came out for the inaugural shoot, and thank our team, who were instrumental in getting the buckets ready for these incredible teachers.
