The First Annual Lonie Paxton Celebrity Sporting Clays Challenge is coming to Colorado Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2010. Join Denver Broncos long-snapper Lonie Paxton and a number of his teammates and sports figures for this one-of-a-kind event at the Kiowa Creek Sporting Club in Bennett, Colo. (46700 E. County Rd. 30).

This event benefits Paxton's Active Force Foundation and its mission to provide opportunity for physically challenged individuals to engage in a healthy lifestyle through sports experience and education. Active Force Foundation provides camps for disabled athletes to experience the unique four-wheel mountain bikes they have designed and built.

"I'm excited to have an event of this kind in Colorado," Paxton said. "The people here have been terrific in supporting Active Force Foundation, and we're looking to build up our programs to reach even more disabled athletes and give them outdoor experiences they've never had before."

The 2010 Celebrity Sporting Clays Challenge is an event you don't want to miss. Participants enjoy the opportunity to test their skills on Kiowa Creek's professionally designed sporting clays course. You don't need to be an expert marksman-this event caters to all experience levels, even those who have never shot before. Lunch and dinner are provided, as well as entertainment and a special opportunity to mingle with some of Colorado's most recognizable athletes.

"Come out and enjoy a great time with my teammates and me in support of a great cause," Paxton said. If you've never shot before, don't let that stop you. There's something for everyone, and you might just like shooting clays more than you expected."

Always nice to see players helping the community

These types of stories don’t garner nearly as much attention as the crimes and misdemeanors (both real and alleged) of players, but it is great that many players try to do something meaningful for their communities. I’ve always found it interesting how a player handles moving to a new franchise/city after being in one place for a long time. Looks like Lonie is getting comfortable in Denver if he is becoming active in the non-profit community there.

My sources tell me Lonie is a nice guy who realizes he has the “best job in the NFL” as a long snapper. By “sources” I mean my brother-in-law (a Raider’s fan), who’s best man is the brother of a current Bronco. Talk about a direct line to all things Broncos (/sarcasm). Anyway, my brother-in-law met Lonie recently and had a chance to talk with him for a while. Based on that conversation, I’m now convinced to raise my son not as a QB but as a long snapper.
