December is here, and with a new year quickly approaching, the MidwayUSA Foundation has some important announcements for youth shooting teams and organizations.
Annual Rockstar
Youth shooting teams have less than a month left to compete for the annual rockstar incentive.

Multiple shooting teams are neck and neck coming down the stretch. This friendly competition should result in an incredible finish! Click Here to see the current standings. Only match eligible donations count in this incentive; for example, match eligible donations can be one-time donations, recurring gifts, donations for Foundation fundraising products, etc. All Team Endowment Accounts are eligible to participate in this incentive. The Annual Rockstar incentive began in January 2019 and will end on December 31, 2019, with the winners being announced in January 2020.
