Clays for K9 Cancer Sporting Clays Clinic
Join us for a half-day Sporting Clays Clinic designed for all skill levels, featuring expert instruction, full amenities, and a meaningful mission—all while helping support K9 cancer research and care.
Sharpen Your Skills While Supporting a Great Cause
2026 Recap:
Our 2nd Annual Clays for K9 Cancer Sporting Clays Clinic took place on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at Mid Hudson Sporting Grounds in New Paltz, NY.
The half-day clinic gave shooters of all skill levels—from novice to master class—the opportunity to sharpen their skills, improve their technique, and learn from an outstanding group of experienced instructors.
Participants enjoyed a full morning on the course that included professional instruction, targets, golf cart use, breakfast and lunch, and a special participant gift.
We were fortunate to have an exceptional team of instructors sharing their expertise:
Tom Fiumarello – NSCA Level II, Guild of Shooting Instructors (UK), Paragon Senior Instructor
Kevin Cook – NSCA Level II
Jeff Kaiser – NSCA Level I
Samantha McInteer – NSCA Level I, CSMC Sponsored Shooter, Collegiate Competitor (Jacksonville University)
Throughout the morning, participants gained valuable insight and hands-on instruction while enjoying time on the course with fellow shooters—all in support of an incredibly meaningful cause.
Every dollar raised through the clinic supported K9 Cancer Research and helped provide assisted care for dogs with cancer whose owners could not afford treatment.
The clinic was another important part of our ongoing mission: helping the dogs we love and the humans who love them.
Thank you to our instructors, participants, volunteers, and supporters who helped make the 2nd Annual Clays for K9 Cancer Sporting Clays Clinic such a success!
Dash Fund established at CUVS
Over the past 5 years through the generosity of the shooters who come to our event, we have been able to fund lifesaving research at The Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine, but in the past 5 years we have done much more. We have donated to the Riney K9 Health Center at Cornell Ithaca, helped to fund research on Gastric Cancer, Osteosarcoma, and Lymphoma. Helped to fund the new Linear Accelerator for Cancer treatment at Cornell Ithaca. Donated $30,000 to the Patient Assistance Program at the Cornell Veterinary Hospital, in Stamford, Conn, and for 2026 we are announcing the formation of the “Dash Foundation, at CUVS in Stamford, Conn.
Named after Scott Gannon’s beloved Springer “Dasher” who lost his battle with Cancer in 2025, we have developed this program to assist K9 Cancer patients whose owners cannot afford Cancer care whether it be a surgery, chemo, or other life saving cancer treatments. The “Dash Foundation” is a first of its kind at CUVS for cancer only dogs, and it is one more way the K9 Cancer Shoot, and your dollars, is saving one more dog, and helping one more human in what we do.
Please know your dollars do matter, and every penny will make a difference in the lives of the dogs we are trying to help and the humans who love them. Look for another big announcement at the K9 Cancer shoot on June 13th as we move forward to assist, “one more dog, and one more human”, fight this terrible disease. All as we say, “From the Love of One Little Dog, Meg”
