A weekend of outdoor competition raised $220,000 in support of military members and their families at Mountain Falls Luxury Motorcoach Resort and Burlingame Country Club Lake Toxaway last month.

The Skinner Round-Up presented by Cessna included everything from a shooting competition to a golf tournament and hoedown bash, with all proceeds going to Hope for Warriors, a national nonprofit dedicated to restoring a sense of self, family and hope for service members, veterans and military families. 

The event has been held for 10 years in Daytona Beach, Florida and came to North Carolina this year for the first time. 

A long list of sponsors and celebrities in attendance came together to make the event successful.
