MIDWAYUSA FOUNDATION
ADDS OVER HALF A MILLION TO
YOUTH SHOOTING TEAM ENDOWMENTS

Columbia, MO- The year of 2017 continues to be a very positive one for youth shooting sports, specifically for those teams with a MidwayUSA Foundation Team Endowment. In September, alone, donations to the MidwayUSA Foundation generated $598,500 in matching dollars. The Matching Program matches contributions to youth shooting team endowments, 2:1, and is possible because of the generosity and passion of Larry and Brenda Potterfield. Their donations fund the program. Nearly 200 youth shooting teams benefited from this September matching contribution.

"There aren't a lot of organizations that are able to offer a 2:1 match and we are thrilled to see more and more teams are taking advantage of that," said Randy Moeller, MidwayUSA Foundation Executive Director. "With the giving season right around the corner we are expecting donations to continue to increase in the coming months and we are able to triple those contributions."

Through the MidwayUSA Foundation website (midwayusafoundation.org/donate) donors can choose the team that will benefit from their contribution. Donations are tax deductible and 100% of the donation, as well as the match, benefits that team. The Foundation keeps zero for operating expenses. The 2:1 match will end in 2017.

The MidwayUSA Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity working to sustain the shooting sports industry by providing long-term funding to youth shooting teams. Every donation made is 100% tax deductible and supports the mission to help communities and organizations raise funds to support their youth shooting team. The Foundation supports all shooting disciplines.
