John Winn Davis Foundation

Providing funds for missionaries & helping children with autism reach their full potential

03/28/2025

Laura and I can’t thank our ECS family enough for the blessing they are to us. The student body led by Jed Dorrill and Kyle Mabie organized a dodgeball tournament to raise money for the John Winn Foundation and presented a $750 dollar check to Riley at school today. That a group of high schoolers almost 3 years after John Winn’s passing would care enough about our family and John Winn’s sisters is truly amazing! There are a lot of reasons why we chose to make sacrifices to send our children to ECS. The kids that make up that school though, are at the top of that reasons list. From the bottom of our family’s heart…..THANK YOU!!!

The 3rd annual shoot for the John Winn Davis Fund for Autism is just around the corner. This year we are holding our event, for the first time, at Mallards Croft. The event is a 4-person team sporting clay shoot. There will be 14 shooting stations offering a variety of challenging shots. Each shooter will get 100 clay pigeons to draw a bead on. A BBQ lunch from Hog Wild will be provided for all participants. If you’d like to come out to support the event, have some bbq, and shoot some clays on the practice range we have an option for that as well. Please consider coming out, busting some clay pigeons, having some outstanding barbecue, and supporting a great charity. You can register as a 4 person team, a single, or any combination in between. Please see the registration link below. We hope to see you at Mallards Croft on November 3rd.

God Bless!!

From those who spread the word, to those who hosted a lemonade/sno cone stand to raise money, to bidding on our auction items and finally to everyone who braved the heat to attend and play in our event. We raised over $8,000 dollars that will go directly to special needs families to help them provide the best therapy and special needs education money can provide for their child.

Today would have been John Winn’s 15th birthday. There’s certainly not a day that goes by that I don’t miss him, but days like today are certainly more difficult than most. On nights when sleep eludes me I will sit in my chair, in the dark, and just watch a slide show of pictures of him until I either doze off or the sun comes up. In honor of his birthday I thought I would share a few of my favorites. Happy Birthday big boy, Daddy loves you for forever!!!!

Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, spread awareness, and prayed over our fundraiser in memory of John Winn. The second annual Handguns and BBQ was a great success. We raised over $7,600 for the John Winn foundation which will be used to help families with special needs children meet the financial cost of therapy and education. We’d like to congratulate our winner this year, Beaux Goss! If sending metal down range isn’t your thing. We hope you will consider joining us for our second annual pickle ball tournament in February.

Thank you to everyone who has spread the word and to those who have signed up for the second annual Handguns and BBQ!! We are shaping up to have a great turnout!! Our friends at Top Gun have generously provided three handguns for us to auction off to contribute to our fundraiser. The starting bid for these three guns is the cost price of each gun. This is a great opportunity to get a great sidearm at an amazing price. To all of our participants these guns will be on display throughout the event and the bidding will close at the completion of the shoot. If you can not attend but would still like to bid on one of these guns just DM me the gun you would like to bid on and your max bid. Christmas is just right around the corner and nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a Sig Sauer!

The second annual Handguns and BBQ is just a week away and we still have spots available. This is a very fun and unique fundraiser that raises money to support the John Winn Davis Foundation. This foundation was formed to honor the memory of our son and to help meet the financial cost of special needs therapy and education for other families with special needs children. You can come with a partner and shoot as a team or sign up as a single and we’ll pair you up with someone. We’ve adjusted the format from last year to make the event more efficient and keep it to under two hours. Our winning team will get to keep the WINNer’s Cup, for one year. Also our great friends at Oxbeau have donated a Yukon Outfitters backpack cooler, gift card, and swag for both shooters. If you can’t come but would still like to donate or sponsor a shooter please visit johnwinndavis.com for information on how to donate. Thank you and God bless!!

The second annual Handguns and BBQ is right around the corner. We had a great time last year and raised a lot of money for a great cause. We hope to see everyone again this year on November, 13 at Top Gun gun range. Register online at EventBrite as either a two person team or as an individual. 🔫🍖🌒🏆

One year ago today my son woke up in eternity and my family’s lives were forever changed. I struggled with wether to post anything about this day. For me I just want this day to pass. Most of my days are filled with darkness with intermittent burst of light, but this day is certainly darker than most. This first year has been about getting through our family’s “first” without John Winn. The first birthday you celebrate, the first Halloween, his first birthday, our first Christmas, etc. Today checks off the last “first” now it’s just about how many times I go through those things before God calls me home. The burst of light that for a moment tears through the darkness have come in all forms. The ultimate reason I decided to post this today was the brightest of those lights has been how much our family, friends, and community have loved us through this year. You expect that kind of support from those closest to you and in the immediate aftermath of such a tragedy. The support and prayers we still get to this day from those closest to us, to those we haven’t seen in years, to people we don’t even know. People who heard John Winn’s story and have reached out to us with thoughts, prayers, and support. This has been and continues to be the brightest light in the darkness for us. For that I had to post this to tell you all how thankful and blessed we are for that support. It has been awe inspiring and so needed. Most days I have to look in the mirror at some point and remind myself of two things. First, “the moon is round” and second “you are never out of the fight.” Just because the darkness obscures the moon doesn’t mean it still isn’t round, and when the darkness comes you can either let it consume you or you can fight. As long as God above chooses to let you draw a breath you are never out of the fight…..so fight!!!
