Our Annual Rockstar program rewards our youth shooting teams that actively grow their endowment throughout the year. Asking for donations and conducting fundraisers can be hard work, and we hope that by awarding those actions, we can help motivate teams to raise money. Plus, our matching program doubles that effort! Every dollar contributed to a youth shooting team endowment is matched, dollar for dollar, in 2023. In addition to our matching program, we offer unique ways a team’s community of supporters can help. Free fundraising products provide great items for teams to conduct auctions or raffles. Online auctions allow a supporter to bid and win an experience or product; that bid is a direct donation to the youth shooting team of the auction winner’s choice. Plus, we match it! And finally, registering and attending our special events is also a way community members can support their local youth shooting team.
Now that we are halfway through the year, we wanted to offer an update on the teams out there succeeding at growing their MidwayUSA Foundation endowment. You can find the top ten teams on the bottom of our homepage, and we’ll bring more updates on our blog throughout the year. The five teams currently leading the Annual Rockstar challenge are…
1. Mid Carolina Youth Shooting Team – SC | $73,459
