For 11 years, Davidson Realty has invited the community to come together on a Thursday afternoon in the fall, to raise money for nonprofits supporting youth and families in need in Northeast Florida. Over lunch and a course of sporting clays, they’ve raised an astounding $1,001,000 in the past 11 years! Last year alone, they raised $130,000! And the goal for 2026? Beat that number.

 

“I’m so proud of everything we’ve accomplished over the last 11 years,” shares Sherry Davidson, President of Davidson Cares and Davidson Realty. “These organizations need our support more than ever, and so this year we’re hoping to raise the most yet! I know we can do it, with the help of our community. We can show how much we care.”

 

The Jim Davidson’s Annual Clay Day is a sport shooting fundraiser in honor of the Davidson family’s patriarch, the late Jim Davidson. This year, the event will take place on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at Jacksonville Clay Target Sports for a day of sporting clays, lunch, friendly competition, exciting raffles, and most importantly, giving back to the community. Money raised from the event will go directly to Builders Care, St. Augustine Youth Services (SAYS), Investing in Kids! (INK!), Port in the Storm Homeless Youth Center, Five STAR Veterans Center, Homes for Hope, and Mercy Support Services — helping these organizations run their programming and provide vital services to families and individuals in need.

Port in the Storm

For the past eight years, Davidson Cares, the charitable arm of Davidson Realty, has been a beacon of support for non-profits through Jim Davidson’s Annual Clay Day fundraiser. Their remarkable fundraising efforts, totaling almost three-quarters of a million dollars, have left an indelible mark on the local community. When selecting charities for its events, Sherry Davidson, president of Davidson Cares, focuses on finding charities that improve the local community and serve vulnerable populations, especially children in need, a cause that the late Jim Davidson was deeply passionate about. One of those charities, the Port in the Storm Homeless Youth Center, is a testament to the transformative power of caring.

 

Davidson Cares was inspired to contribute to the Port in the Storm Homeless Youth Center after one of its Clay Day sponsors, MasterCraft Builder Group, completed an emergency renovation of the facility after a flood caused mass damages just days before Christmas.

 

“We added Port in the Storm Homeless Youth Center as one of our charitable causes in 2022 after seeing the impactful work they were doing,” says Sherry Davidson, president of Davidson Cares. “The organization’s mission is so important, and the cost of providing those services is endless. Davidson Cares is proud to help them continue that work.”
