This video recognizes Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, for receiving the 2014 Outdoor Channel Lifetime Achievement Award. The award, presented by Wayne LaPierre of the NRA, celebrates individuals significantly impacting the shooting sports industry. Potterfield's achievements include developing programs that benefit the Second Amendment and youth sporting activities, such as the NRA Round-Up, Friends of NRA, and the Scholastic Shooting Trust. This honor highlights his extensive contributions to conservation and the shooting sports community.
This video introduces the Scholastic Shooting Trust Fund, established by the MidwayUSA Foundation. Its purpose is to raise funds for shooting teams in high schools, colleges, and universities across America, with over 20,000 institutions potentially benefiting. The description encourages tax-deductible contributions via their website (www.scholasticshootingtrust.org), allowing donors to specify which school receives the donation. It highlights how these teams foster friendships, confidence, discipline, and leadership, similar to other sports, while noting the general lack of school funding for them. The website provides details on endowment goals, contributions, active programs, and anticipated funding for each school. Gifts are invested to provide permanent funding, supporting existing programs or helping new ones start, thus contributing to the development of future leaders.
