COLORADO
SPRINGS, Colorado (July 3, 2018) – USA Shooting and The
National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®),
the trade association for the firearms industry, have formalized a
gold-level partnership agreement that will help America’s Shooting Team
achieve their 2020 vision. This partnership includes top status as a major
event sponsor for USA Shooting’s National Sporting Clay Cup Fundraiser
later this summer.
NSSF becomes the third
gold-level sponsor signed by USA Shooting since April, as companies are
aligning to declare shooting as their Olympic and Paralympic sport in 2018.
Federal Ammunition became a new sponsor in April while White Flyer was
renewed just last week. SKB Cases and Podium also signed on as bronze-level
sponsors as well in recent months.
NSSF is a longtime supporter of
USA Shooting, and the two organizations have partnered together on many
campaigns and projects over the years, including NSSF’s First Shots
introduction-to-shooting program and NSSF’s Project ChildSafe
program to promote firearm safety in the home. Following successes at each
of the past three Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2008, 2012 and 2016, NSSF
sponsored full-page advertisements in USA Today to congratulate America’s
Shooting Team athletes.
In August, USA Shooting will
heavily promote National Shooting Sports Month,
which celebrates the passion USA Shooting Team members and fans all have
for target shooting and a pastime that provides a lifetime of enjoyment that
can be shared with families and friends. At the same time, National
Shooting Sports Month reminds the public that shooting is a safe, fun
activity enjoyed by millions of Americans. National Shooting Sports Month
provides an excellent opportunity for increased shooting sports
participation through fun events and activities held at ranges and retail
stores across the country.
“NSSF has long recognized that
USA Shooting athletes are outstanding ambassadors for recreational shooting
and firearms safety, reminding the public that the shooting sports have
something to offer for everyone—a core message of National Shooting Sports
Month,” said Chris
Dolnack, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer
of NSSF. “NSSF is proud to continue its support for all that USA Shooting
stands for by being a gold-level sponsor of its National Sporting Clay Cup
Fundraiser.”
“USA Shooting has a strong
tradition of excellence, and proudly represents the shooting industry every
time they train and compete for their Olympic and Paralympic dreams,” said Keith Enlow, CEO
of USA Shooting. “The NSSFs contributions to our upcoming fundraiser will
help create the type of momentum we need to raise the money we need to
embrace the tremendous competitive challenges that are ahead of us as Tokyo
2020 nears.
“We very much appreciate the NSSF’s willingness to
once again step up and help make a difference for our athletes in need,”
Enlow added. “USA Shooting relies heavily on industry support to get
our athletes prepared to represent America on the world stage and get
athletes to the podium.”
With Tokyo in Sight, USA
Shooting’s National Sporting Clays Cup fundraiser will lure shooting sport
enthusiasts to North Carolina on August 30 in support the USA Shooting Team
as they head toward the 2018 World Championships and the upcoming 2020
Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. As the only non-government
supported shooting team in the world, USA Shooting relies heavily on donors
and sponsors to help maintain a history of success that includes 110
Olympic medals.
Join USA Shooting, the NSSF and
many other top shooting sport industry executives in celebration of
America’s athletes and National Shooting Sports Month. It’s the can’t
miss fundraiser of the summer featuring a fun Sporting Clays shoot and VIP
dinner at the exclusive Childress Vineyard. Click here for more
