6th Annual Sportsman Banquet: Having Fun While Funding Free Medical Care

Mark your calendars for August 1st! The 6th Annual Sportsman Banquet, hosted by the Omar Shriners, is returning to the Omar Shrine Center at Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant, SC. Host Brian Cleary sits down with Treasurer Kenny Skipper and Recorder Jim Gates to preview an all-inclusive night of premier dining, an open bar, and high-energy fun featuring live and silent auctions, games, and a 50/50 drawing. The prize lineup is staggering—ranging from high-end hunting trips and guided fishing tours to a fully prepared Beaufort Stew dinner for 20, and even a raffle for a live Boykin Spaniel puppy!

But this event is about much more than great prizes. Instantly recognizable by their iconic red "fez" hats, the Omar Shriners are bound by a deep commitment to philanthropy. For members like Jim, the mission is intensely personal; his own daughter successfully underwent four eye surgeries starting at a very young age, making his service a profound way to pay his blessings forward.

Proceeds from the banquet directly fuel the operational costs that empower the Shriners' legendary, cost-free medical care for children. Locally, this event celebrates their expanding partnership with the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital and the local Children's Burn Center in Charleston—symbolized by the historic "Walking Tall" statue standing proudly at the hospital's entrance. Doors open at 5:30 PM, and individual tickets, corporate tables, and business sponsorships are available now. Tune in to discover how you can enjoy a phenomenal night out while changing children's lives right here in the Lowcountry!
