Salt Lake City, Utah: The Mule Deer Foundation (MDF) announced today that Henry Repeating Arms (Henry) has signed on as a Bronze Level supporter. Henry has been a long-term partner of MDF and its various fundraising initiatives. Today’s endorsement further distinguishes this commitment to MDF. For years, MDF banquets have featured numerous American made Henry lever action rifles to raise funds in support of our mission, ensuring the conservation of mule deer, black-tailed deer and their habitat.
“We are tremendously grateful for Henry’s continued support. We look forward to working with Henry to advance our conservation efforts and help ensure the future of our country’s hunting heritage,” commented MDF COO Brian Fienhold. “Over the years, MDF and Henry have built a strong relationship, collaborating on special edition firearms and matching donations for past fundraising campaigns. On behalf of MDF employees, members and our tireless volunteers, I cannot thank Henry enough for yet again stepping up in support of MDF and wildlife conservation.”
As the leader in mule deer habitat conservation, MDF has put millions of dollars toward on-the-ground habitat improvement and restoration to improve the health of western forests and rangelands. These projects support not only mule deer and black-tailed deer herds, but also vast numbers of associated wildlife species while improving water quality, reducing wildfire risk, and enhancing hunting and other recreational access. MDF also believes that promoting our hunting heritage is a key ingredient to furthering our conservation objectives. Outreach initiatives, such as our M.U.L.E.Y. Youth Program, are aimed at educating the public on hunting, wildlife management and overall respect and enjoyment of our natural resources.
“Wildlife conservation has been part of the Henry Guns For Great Causes program since its inception 20 years ago,” commented Anthony Imperato, President and Owner of Henry Repeating Arms. “We are a proud supporter of the efforts of the Mule Deer Foundation for their relentless dedication to ensure the future of our hunting heritage.”
