For the past 17 years, Calvary Home for Children has proudly hosted its annual pheasant shoot, a beloved tradition that blends the excitement of outdoor sport with meaningful philanthropy. This highly anticipated event draws hunting enthusiasts from across the region, bringing together individuals and businesses united by a shared commitment to supporting children in need. More than just a day in the field, the pheasant shoot provides an opportunity to make a lasting impact while enjoying camaraderie, friendly competition, and the beauty of the outdoors.
Set against the picturesque landscape of Evergreen Plantation, located at 4800 Highway 187 South in Starr, South Carolina, the 2026 pheasant shoot will take place on February 27. The event continues to grow in popularity and, once again, has sold out its shooting spots for the year. While participant registration is full, Calvary Home is actively seeking event sponsors who wish to gain meaningful visibility while supporting this impactful cause. Sponsorship opportunities offer a unique way for businesses and individuals to be part of an event that consistently attracts a large, engaged audience year after year.
The day is structured around two shooting sessions one at 9:00 a.m. and another at 1:30 p.m. each accommodating up to 80 participants across two towers. This well-organized format ensures a safe, enjoyable experience for shooters of all skill levels. Each year, approximately 1,200 pheasants are transported from North Carolina, guaranteeing a challenging and rewarding shoot. Expert bird dogs and on-site bird cleaners are available to assist participants, enhancing the overall experience.
Between shooting sessions, attendees gather for a BBQ lunch served from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., providing an ideal opportunity for networking, fellowship, and sponsor recognition. This time together allows sponsors to engage directly with participants, reinforcing brand visibility in a relaxed and memorable setting.
Participation is open to individuals aged 16 and older, and no hunting license is required. Shooters are asked to bring their own firearms and shells, with additional shells available for purchase on-site. Safety remains a top priority, and all participants must wear safety orange during the event. Guests are encouraged to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to their scheduled shooting session.
The Calvary Home Pheasant Shoot is more than a sporting event, it is a celebration of generosity, community, and compassion. Proceeds directly support Calvary Home for Children, helping provide a safe, nurturing environment for children who need it most. Sponsorship ensures this mission continues while placing supporters in front of a broad and loyal audience, making it a valuable investment with meaningful returns.
Whether you are a longtime supporter, a business seeking impactful sponsorship opportunities, or someone passionate about giving back, the annual pheasant shoot offers a powerful way to get involved. This event consistently sells out, ensuring sponsor information reaches a wide audience each year.
