Columbia, Missouri — MidwayUSA Foundation is proud to recognize Ruger Firearms for its outstanding support in helping the Foundation provide over $1 million to benefit youth shooting sports programs across the country. Through a series of successful strategic partnerships, Ruger has played an important role in helping MidwayUSA Foundation generate substantial contributions. Even more significant, every dollar raised and contributed to team endowment has been matched by MidwayUSA Foundation, doubling the impact and creating a lasting source of financial support for these participating teams.
"Ruger has been an incredible partner and has demonstrated a genuine commitment to the future of youth shooting sports," said John Linquist of MidwayUSA Foundation. "Reaching the $1 million milestone is a tremendous accomplishment, but what makes this achievement especially meaningful is knowing that these dollars are endowed, matched, and positioned to support youth shooting teams for generations to come." MidwayUSA Foundation's endowment model is designed to provide youth shooting teams with a sustainable source of funding. Contributions to team endowments are invested, allowing teams to receive annual grants while preserving the principal and creating an opportunity for continued financial support well into the future.
Ruger's support has helped create opportunities for youth to participate in shooting sports and has also helped teams offset the costs of ammunition, equipment, travel, competition, and other program needs. "Ruger is incredibly proud to have helped raise more than $1 million for youth shooting team endowments through MidwayUSA Foundation." Added Abbey Clary, Director of Media, Advertising & Public Relations, Sturm, Ruger & Co. "Supporting the next generation of shooting sports participants is an important investment in the future of our industry, and we're grateful for the work the Foundation does to create lasting opportunities for young shooters across the country."
MidwayUSA Foundation is thankful to Ruger and everyone who has participated in these fundraising opportunities. Together, these partnerships demonstrate what is possible when industry leaders, donors, and youth shooting organizations work toward a common goal.
