Half a million dollars in just one day? Well, if anyone can hit that mark for Giving Tuesday 2024 (that's December 3!), it's the MidwayUSA Foundation. This year, the public charity has an assist in the form of a sponsorship from SK Guns. This year, donors will have a chance to win SK Guns' exclusive Gold Series Early Italian Renaissance Collection. Only 25 complete Gold Series sets have been produced, featuring four specially engraved Springfield 1911 pistols with consecutive serial numbers and matching edition numbers with an estimated value of $15,000. For every $1,000 contribution, donors will be entered to win the SK Guns set.
Here's why this is such a wonderful investment in the future. A MidwayUSA Foundation endowment means that a given team receives an annual cash grant to mitigate its many expenses. When an endowment covers the cost of ammunition, competition fees, targets or travel, more young shooters can participate in shooting sports. Often, shooting sports athletes become future hunters and conservationists, as well.
Donors can donate directly to their favorite team on the MidwayUSA Foundation website and be sure that 100% of their donations will benefit the endowment of their choice, because no portion is used to cover operating expenses, thanks to the generosity of Larry and Brenda Potterfield.
What's more, every tax-deductible donation made to a youth shooting team endowment will be matched, thanks to Larry and Brenda Potterfield. In addition to matching donations, MidwayUSA Foundation is offering $80,000 in special incentives to award participating teams. The top five donation-earning teams will earn additional endowment funds ($15,000/$12,500/$10,000/$7,500/$5,000) and all other teams that receive a donation on Giving Tuesday will be entered to win $1,000 through a random draw.
“We are honored to have a special partnership with SK Guns and are confident this generous product sponsorship will help us achieve our goal of raising $500,000 on Giving Tuesday. The Gold Series 1911 set is exquisite and proves SK Guns is committed to the future of youth shooting sports,” explained G. Scott Reynolds, MidwayUSA Foundation Executive Director. He added, “On behalf of the thousands of youth shooting sports athletes MidwayUSA Foundation assists, we ask for your support on December 3.” For more information, click here!
