Dear Friend:
Friends of NRA is an exciting grassroots fund-raising program that
fosters community involvement, raises money and gives 100% of the net
proceeds to qualified local, state and national programs. Thanks to
dedicated individuals across America, Friends of NRA is making a
difference. Working with NRA's Field Staff, thousands of volunteers
nationwide are participating in the program by organizing committees
and planning events in their communities. 50% of the proceeds raised
stay here in Utah.
The NRA Foundation has funded more than 3,400 state fund grants for a
total of $8.6 million, including but not limited to: Youth firearms
safety and education programs; hunter education; range development
and improvement; support materials for training classes; women's
safety classes; and wildlife conservation efforts. To ensure a legacy
of hunting and the shooting sports, we must guarantee funding
stability and growth for future generations. The only way to
accomplish this goal is through community involvement and donations.
Each year we hold a dinner & auction, the next dinner is March 26,
2004 6:00 PM at Totem's - 538 South Redwood Road. Tickets are
$30.00/person that includes a delicious dinner, games, music, and
both a silent and live auction, along with wonderful prizes. Sponsor
packages are also available starting at $250.00 (please ask for
details) For tickets or if you have questions, please contact us at:
slcfriendsofnra@... or slcfriendsonra@...
We sincerely hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. Come
support the community, meet other individuals with like interests;
and join us in an evening of great food, good friends, entertainment
and the chance to take part in keeping alive the American Heritage.
We hope that you will help, all donations are appreciated. Donations
can be in the form of money, items that can be auctioned/raffled,
services, or volunteering your time, as well as, simply purchasing a
dinner ticket.
Most of us give money to many charities. This is the charity, which
we dedicate our greatest energies to. Through education, we can keep
our children and communities safe, improve gun awareness, and promote
safety, while keeping alive our heritage. If you were a sponsor last
year, thank you. We hope that you will be able to donate in 2004. If
this is your first time, thank you in advance for joining our
efforts!
