Held at the beautiful, historic Burge Plantation in Mansfield, GA, the fall fundraising event was host to a large crowd enthusiastic about being outdoors, networking with colleagues and enjoying friendly competition of sporting clays. A warmer than average temp did not keep folks away.

“Our PAC/PR Fundraising Clay Shoots continue to be a lot of fun and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the great turn-out and support for this worthy cause,” said CBA President & CEO Rob Braswell. The CBA maintains the only state PAC working exclusively for Georgia’s community banks.
