Yesterday was a day I know none of us will ever forget.

On behalf of the Southwestern PA Ducks Unlimited Chapter, thank you to everyone who came out to support the Zachary Wolfe Memorial Sporting Clay Event. We had over 200 shooters, beautiful weather, amazing volunteers, sponsors, donors, and supporters, and because of all of you, it was an incredible day.

Personally, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

There were so many moments yesterday that were emotional for me, but seeing everyone come together to support something that meant so much to Zachary reminded me just how many lives he touched. This chapter wasn't just something he belonged to, it was part of who he was. Seeing all of you continue that tradition meant more to me than I can put into words.

We held an auction at the end of the event. Because the amazing generosity, we'll be able to start a memorial scholarship fund in Zachary's name. That is something I've hoped we could do, and knowing his legacy will continue to impact others for years to come makes my heart so happy.

I truly believe Zachary was with us yesterday. From the perfect weather to seeing everyone enjoying the day together, I know he was watching over all of us. He would have been so proud.

Thank you for helping us honor him, support Ducks Unlimited, and continue something he loved so much. I hope this is a tradition we can continue for many years to come.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 31, 2027. We can't wait to see everyone again next year.

Thank you all. ❤️🦆

We've had several people ask about signing up without a full team, so we've made it happen! We've added an individual registration option! 🔫

If you'd like to participate but don't have four people, you can now register individually for $125. We'll pair you with other registrants, and if you have a friend registering separately that you'd like to be with, just let us know during registration and we'll do our best to place you together.

Whether you're bringing a full team or coming on your own, we'd love to have you join us for the Zachary Wolfe Memorial Sporting Clay Shoot on Saturday, July 25th.

As many of you know, this year's event has been renamed the Southwestern PA Ducks Unlimited Zachary Wolfe Memorial Sporting Clay Event.

A few people have asked, so I wanted to clarify that this is still a Ducks Unlimited fundraiser, and all proceeds from the event will continue to support Ducks Unlimited's conservation mission just as they always have.

Renaming the shoot was our way of honoring Zach and the countless hours, energy, and passion he poured into this chapter over the years. There was no better way to remember him than by continuing an event that meant so much to him.

Our family has been overwhelmed by the support we've received, and we are incredibly grateful. Down the road, we may explore additional ways to honor Zach's memory, but those would be separate from this event and clearly communicated.

Thank you all for your continued support. We hope you'll join us on July 25th as we celebrate conservation, friendship, and the legacy Zach helped build.

Hi everyone, this is Sarah.

Many of you have already heard of the passing of my husband, Zachary Wolfe. For those who knew him, you know how much he loved the outdoors and this chapter. Ducks Unlimited was a big part of our lives.

Back in 2016, while I was working in the lamp room at the mine, Zach came through and broke the ice by asking if I wanted to buy a Ducks Unlimited calendar. I never actually bought the calendar 🤣, but the rest is history.

Since then, I've had the privilege of being part of this chapter alongside him. Over the years, I've enjoyed every clay shoot, committee meeting, banquet, and all the friendships that have come with them. We always took tremendous pride in what this chapter represented and what we were able to accomplish together. In 2020, we were honored to receive our Ducks Unlimited Life Sponsor pins - something that meant so much to both of us.

This year's Sporting Clay Shoot will be a lot different without Zach. He handled so much of the behind-the-scenes work, especially when it came to registrations and keeping everything organized. When Chuck asked me if I still wanted to have the shoot this year, I didn't even hesitate. I couldn't imagine not doing it.

I know Zachary will be with us the entire day.

I want to thank everyone who has supported our chapter over the years and especially those who have supported my family these past few weeks. The calls, messages, prayers, meals, donations, and countless acts of kindness have meant more than I can ever express.

As we continue preparing for our Annual Sporting Clay Shoot, please be patient with us as we work through some of the things Zach always handled so effortlessly. We're doing our best, and we're committed to making this year's event one that would make him proud.

In memory of Zachary, we will be extending Early Bird Registration through June 14.

Thank you all for being part of our Ducks Unlimited family. We look forward to seeing many familiar faces on July 25th as we celebrate conservation, friendship, and a chapter that meant so much to Zach.

For those who would like to learn more about Zachary and the life he lived, his obituary is shared in the comments. ❤️
