The MidwayUSA Foundation, a public charity with a mission to help communities and organizations raise funds to support their high school, college, and other youth shooting teams, offers free fundraising products to participating shooting teams. Youth shooting teams and organizations use these free items to grow their MidwayUSA Foundation endowment. The items can also provide teams with cash for their immediate expenses. Currently, there are 21 different fundraising products and combinations available, which is the largest variety to date. These products include firearms, electronics, coolers, and optics and they are always offered to shooting organizations at NO COST. See the full list of available products at MidwayUSAFoundation.org/fundraisingproducts.

Mike Batholomew, coach of the Alta Aurelia Warriors stated that “Our experience with MidwayUSA Foundation has been 100% positive! We’ve had huge success with the fundraising items provided to our team, and the customer service in getting these things has been outstanding as well! We would highly recommend this program to any club that is just getting started or even one that has been around a while.” Over 300 teams requested fundraising products in 2019, and the MidwayUSA Foundation has high hopes of expanding this unique program. To request a fundraising product, youth shooting teams can visit the Foundation’s website and select the registration paperwork next to the product of their choice. Full details and specs are listed for each product on the website, along with the ability to print tickets, and other print material, that can assist with community fundraisers.

Fundraising product proceeds donated to shooting team endowments also count towards the MidwayUSA Foundation’s Annual Rockstar fundraising event. This incentive rewards the top fundraising teams of the year. The program will be awarding $50,000, cumulatively, in endowment funds; plus, top-performing teams will also receive team patches to promote their hard work.
