On behalf of the youth program at SAN DIEGO Shotgun Sports Association, I’d like to extend our most sincere thanks to the NRA Foundation and our local San Diego Friends of NRA for their generous support of our young shooters. Their grant of $4,000 will go towards providing ammunition and safety equipment for the SCTP program for the next year. Barbara and I had the pleasure of attending the most recent fundraising dinner at the Handlery Hotel in Mission Valley. I can say, without any reservation, the dinner was great, the games and auctions were fun, and you couldn’t find a better group of people to spend an evening with.
The Friends of NRA is a national grass-roots organization with thousands of volunteers across the country that raise money at a local level to support youth development, firearm safety, range development, and wildlife conservation programs. 100% of the proceeds raised at the local fundraisers are distributed to these programs through NRA Foundation grants, with over 50% going to youth development programs. We will be posting the information on their next fundraising dinner on the website in about four months. Whether you’re able to donate auction items or just attend the next dinner, you won’t be disappointed. This is a great cause. If you would like to help or would like more information, contact me at secretary@sandiegoshotgunsports.com.
