Bustin' for Badges is an annual sporting clays fundraiser to benefit midland and ector county sheriff's departments and midland and odessa police departments. Companies and individuals support the organization by purchasing sponsor packages and teams to participate at the clay shoot. A raffle is held at the clay shoot with donated and purchased items to raise funds. Promotional merchandise is also sold at the clay shoot. Bustin' for Badges partners with a local restaurant annually on a saturday in the spring to promote the clay shoot, for community outreach purposes, and to sell raffle tickets. The four law enforcement agencies use the funds to purchase new equipment and technology to better serve and protect our community.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
