The Miami R-1 High School FFA Trap Team is proud to announce their receipt of the National Rifle Association (NRA) Foundation Teach Freedom and Friends of the NRA grant this year. The NRA Foundation provided nine 12-gauge shotguns for use in weekly competitions.
They also provided some gun cases necessary to transport the firearms, gun cleaning equipment, ear protection, eye protection, first aid kit and other maintenance firearm supplies. This is an amazing addition to our program. This allows students who do not have the necessary equipment, the ability to participate and learn a new skill, while learning to respect firearms and handle them safely. We are so thankful for NRA commitment to our community.
“The National Rifle Association was established in 1871 and is America’s oldest civil rights and sportsmen’s group. Five million members strong, the NRA continues its mission to uphold Second Amendment rights and is the leader in firearm education and training for law-abiding gun owners, law enforcement and the military. For more information, please visit their website at www.nra.org. The NRA Foundation was established in 1990. The NRA Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization that raises tax-deductible contributions in support of a wide range of firearm-related public interest activities of the NRA and other organizations that defend and foster the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding Americans. These activities are designed to promote firearm and hunting safety, enhance the marksmanship skills of those participating in shooting sports, and educate the general public about firearms in their historic, technological, and artistic contexts. More information about The NRA Foundation can be found online at www.nrafoundation.org. Friends of NRA is a grassroots fund-raising program that fosters community involvement to organize and with help from NRA field staff, plan community events for firearms enthusiasts. All net proceeds from Friends of NRA events are allocated to The NRA Foundation, the leading charitable organization in support of shooting sports. The NRA Foundation grants aid to involve and inspire a new generation of competitive shooters.

Sponsors provided financial support to cover ammunition and trap fees. Without our community support, many would not have this opportunity. We cannot thank each of you enough. |
