Columbia, MO – MidwayUSA Foundation is once again hosting its Hometown Challenge Sweepstakes, an annual donation drive that offers over 100 sponsor-donated prizes to supporters of youth shooting sports. Donations of $20 or more, made between September 1-30 to a MidwayUSA Foundation youth shooting team endowment, will not only be matched but will also qualify for an entry into the sweepstakes prize drawing. The continued generosity of industry sponsors through product donations makes Hometown Challenge one of the Foundation’s most successful fundraisers for youth shooting teams each year.

“Our Hometown Challenge Sweepstakes allows us to showcase the great partnerships we have with industry retailers that know the importance of investing in youth shooting sports,” said MidwayUSA Foundation Executive Director Pete Eisentrager. “We’re proud to offer our donors the chance at winning a Big Frig Badlands cooler or a Vortex Optics Sparc Red Dot just by supporting their favorite youth shooting team.” Other quality prizes offered this month include a SoLo .22LR Certificate from Silencer Central, the new Take Aim Shot Tracker, a Volquartsen Black Mamba Pistol, a Ruger 10/22 Carbine, and several products from Mantis. The value of prizes offered through the Hometown Challenge Sweepstakes is over $30,000. Every $20 contribution increment qualifies as an entry; multiple entries are encouraged.

In addition to donors winning sweepstakes prizes, youth shooting teams that receive the most donation dollars during MidwayUSA Foundation’s Hometown Challenge can win additional funds to benefit their team endowment. Like all donations to MidwayUSA Foundation, the donor can choose the youth shooting team that benefits from their gift.

The top 5 fundraising teams will be awarded the following endowment dollars:

1st: $15,000
2nd: $12,500
3rd: $10,000

4th: $ 7,500
5th: $ 5,000

An additional 30 participating teams will be drawn at random to receive $1,000 each, in endowment dollars.

Every endowment donation grows a team’s annual cash grant, which is crucial in covering shooting team expenses. Hometown Challenge runs through September, and donations can be made right through the team’s page on the MidwayUSA Foundation website.
