Bettinsoli USA Supports Youth Shooting Sports Through Multiple Programs Offered by MidwayUSA Foundation
Columbia, MO – Leaders within the outdoor industry continue to step up and support MidwayUSA Foundation and the industry’s future. With a mission to help communities and organizations raise funds for their high school and college youth shooting teams, MidwayUSA Foundation relies on the support of retailers and suppliers in the outdoor space. Bettinsoli USA is a long-time sponsor that has assisted with a variety of programs to ensure youth shooting programs have quality items for their fundraising efforts.
Recently, Bettinsoli USA donated their Omega Steel Lite 20-gauge shotgun to a monthly auction to support MidwayUSA Foundation. Hosted on GunBroker.com, the auction winner’s bid was a donation to the endowment of their choice, which was also matched by MidwayUSA Foundation. Along with matching dollars and a special auction incentive, Bettinsoli’s Omega Steel Lite raised nearly $15,000 for youth shooting sports!
“Bettinsoli USA is excited about our continued partnership with the MidwayUSA Foundation to help sustain and grow the shooting sports industry. We believe in and support the MidwayUSA Foundation’s purpose of expanding and enhancing today’s youth’s leadership skills, confidence, and discipline through team shooting sports activities. We also believe Bettinsoli USA can provide high-quality shotguns that fit the needs of youth shooters,” said Nick Stratman of Bettinsoli USA. In addition to online auctions, Bettinsoli USA offers its quality shotguns to MidwayUSA Foundation’s Product Grant Program. This unique program allows youth shooting teams to apply to receive products, free of charge, raise funds in their community and donate generated funds to their endowment to be matched. Bettinsoli USA shotguns will be offered as product grants in January of 2025, where teams can request them, print tickets, and create a unique community fundraiser that grows their endowment and annual cash grant.
Thousands of youth shooting teams, of all disciplines, are funded through a MidwayUSA Foundation endowment. Each team can grow their respective endowment through donations and fundraisers. Additional businesses that are interested in supporting the future of the industry are encouraged to contact John Linquist, MidwayUSA Foundation Relationship Manager, by email JLinquist@MidwayUSAFoundation.org or phone 573-219-7688.
