Legacy Clay
Classic

From "Don't Shoot the Engineers"
to the Legacy Clay Classic.

A day on the range became a tradition. A tradition became a mission. A mission became a way of honoring the people who build Greater Cincinnati.

Through 2024

A Day on the Range

Founded by Jeff Barrow, CEO of Civil Solutions Associates, the event began as an annual gathering for clients and friends — a day where the people who build Cincinnati could step away from the project site and connect. Its founding sponsors were there from the start, and so was its spirit: less about business, more about community.

2025

In Memory of Steve Arnold

The event was renamed the Legacy Clay Classic in tribute to Steve Arnold, Business Development Manager at Bray Construction, who passed away unexpectedly. Steve was a connector, a champion for others, and a tireless ambassador for the profession. His absence made visible the full size of what he had built — and planted the question that became the event's purpose.

2026 & Beyond

A New Tradition

Beginning in 2026, the Legacy Clay Classic honors one individual or family each year who has made a generational commitment to the AEC industry in Greater Cincinnati — someone who received something from the generation before them and chose to carry it forward. The honoree selects a charitable organization to receive the net proceeds.

Celebrating a generational legacy.

2026 Legacy Honoree

Boone Riegler

Riegler Blacktop

Legacy Presenting Sponsor

This year, we are proud to honor Boone Riegler, who has guided Riegler Blacktop through a generational transition — stewarding the company his grandfather built and carrying it forward to his own children.

"Boone's story is the story of this event: legacy, trust, and the quiet pride of building something that lasts."

In recognition of that story, Riegler Blacktop will serve as the Legacy Presenting Sponsor for 2026 — the highest expression of what the Legacy Clay Classic stands for: an organization that has not just participated in this industry, but shaped it across generations.

Join us at the table.

Sponsoring the Legacy Clay Classic connects your company with decision-makers across Greater Cincinnati's AEC industry — and directly supports the honoree's chosen charitable cause.
