Friends' Events

While there are those who will cough up hairballs…

The next couple of months are big for North Carolina’s Friends of the NRA’s fund raising events. Friends gives out GRANTS to organizations throughout NC in support of worthwhile shooting activities in a myriad of NC counties each year. Cost to attend is minimal compared to the return on investment back to NC’s shooting activities.

Therefore, for your benefit the following link provides a by city of the Friends’ events scheduled through the end of October. Perhaps our paths will cross at the local event near you.

I am going to try to go to the one in Clemmons. We have ours the first Saturday in February every year. Several of the local shooting teams benefit from it, and we put on two Women on Target events and one Youth on Target event with grants we recieve from the money raised.

These banquets are a great opertunity to help support the local shooting sports while purchasing NRA endorsed and logoed items.........and maybe win some guns in the process!

Wayne county's awards for a $300 ticket and $1k corp table are quite impressive this year. I am going to submit a grant application or two for several non-profit organizations i volunteer my time toward.
