The 2022 Candler Clays Charity Shoot and Auction raised more than $207,000, a recording breaking amount. All money raised goes towards advancements in cancer care in the Savannah region. The event has raised more than $1.6 million since its inception, benefiting the Nancy N. and J.C. Lewis Cancer & Research Pavilion at St. Joseph’s/Candler.

This year's honoree

Our honoree for the 21^st annual Candler Clays Charity Shoot & Auction is Mr. Richard D. Moore.  

Mr. Moore is President of RDM Investments. He is a graduate of Arizona State University and the American Graduate School of International Management. Mr. Moore has been married to his wife, Cindy, for 42 years.

Mr. Moore has been a strong supporter of St. Joseph’s/Candler’s mission for many years.  His initial involvement began in January of 1995 when he was elected to the Board of Trustees of Candler Hospital. When St. Joseph’s and Candler Hospitals formed St. Joseph’s/Candler through a Joint Operating Agreement, Mr. Moore served on the newly formed St. Joseph’s/Candler Board of Trustees for 14 years. During his tenure, he served as Chairman of the Board of Trustees from 2004 to 2008.  During his year of service, he helped navigate and guide the Professional Relations and Mission Committees, two key committees of the board that strongly influence operations of the health system. Under Mr. Moore’s leadership, the vision to create a national destination for cancer care became a reality with the opening of the Nancy N. and J.C. Lewis Cancer & Research Pavilion. Mr. Moore was reappointed to the board in 2011 and currently helps steer the Finance and Investment Committees of the Board of Trustees.

Mr. Moore embraces the not-for-profit concept for hospitals and its delivery of care because, in his words, “this really puts the patient and the community first. St. Joseph’s/Candler has great leadership and has operated with a consistent management team for many years. “

Mr. Moore is grateful to his skilled physicians, Dr. John Richard Barrett (Primary), Dr. Tom Shook (Urologist) and Dr. John Pablo (Radiation Oncologist) for their collaboration in his prostate cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery. By implementing the “smart technology” treatment of radiation seeding, Mr. Moore’s cancer was eradicated.   Through the work of this dynamic trio, Richard Moore has enjoyed a great outcome for more than 4 years.
