COMMUNITY WELL-BEING
Inaugural Charity Clays Shootout Benefits Local
United Way Chapter
Members of the North Texas/Oklahoma District hosted the inaugural Rocks, Shells and Clays Charity Shootout in June of
2021, raising thousands of dollars for the benefit the United Way of Wise County, Texas.
Management Associate Ashley Trappe, the event’s lead organizer, said the shootout drew a crowd of about 280 people
and featured food and live music. Though the goal was to collect $50,000, Trappe says the team raised more than
$80,000 for the United Way, which, according to its website, “fights for the health, education and financial stability of
every person in every community.”
Trappe says it was an honor to assist such a worthwhile cause.
“2020 was a trying year for many families and businesses, and the United Way was no exception,” she said. “It was such
a privilege to help put on an event that allowed Martin Marietta, our vendors and our customers to give back to the
community. The fact that it allowed our customers, vendors and employees to all be with one another again only added
to that privilege.”
Trappe credited the success of the event to all the Martin Marietta team members that participated.
