Ahead of Suicide Prevention Week (Sept. 8-12, 2025). MTech Mechanical proudly announced it raised $125,000 during its 6th Annual Samborski Memorial Clay Shoot on Saturday, August 23. The money raised supports suicide prevention and mental health programs across Colorado.
This year’s event brought together 185 participants, 30 volunteers, and support from more than 55 companies—all united in the mission of honoring the memory of MTech colleague, friend, and avid outdoorsman, Bill Samborski.
Over the past six years, the Samborski Memorial Clay Shoot has generated an incredible $500,000 in total contributions to organizations dedicated to preventing suicide and supporting mental health initiatives throughout the state. MTech Mechanical covers all event expenses, ensuring that 100% of proceeds directly benefit the supported nonprofits.
The 2025 funds were distributed to four nonprofit partners making a difference in local communities in alignment where MTech Mechanical has offices throughout the state:
- Alliance for Suicide Prevention of Larimer County
- SpeakUp ReachOut – Eagle County
- Pikes Peak Suicide Prevention Partnership
- WellPower (formerly Mental Health Center of Denver)
“The growth of this event over the last six years has been truly inspiring,” said Molly Cape, MTech Mechanical marketing manager and Clay Shoot chair. “Thanks to our participants, sponsors, and volunteers, we’re able to continue supporting organizations that provide life-saving mental health services across Colorado.”
The Samborski Memorial Clay Shoot has become a cornerstone of MTech Mechanical’s community engagement, blending camaraderie, outdoor sporting, and meaningful fundraising.

Suicide Prevention Week
In 2019, a mission-driven group of volunteers from across the construction industry came together to save lives. They collaborated to launch the inaugural Suicide Prevention Week for the industry—a week dedicated to raising awareness about the higher-than-average number of suicides in the construction industry, and to providing resources to help prevent those deaths. Every year, during September—National Suicide Prevention Month—the construction industry will dedicate a week to raising awareness about the unique challenges workers face in construction that lead to suicide and what we can do to prevent it. Together, we can save lives.
