FAIRFAX, Va. — The National Rifle Association proudly announces Numzaan Safaris, Henry Repeating Arms, SecureIT Tactical, GASTON J. GLOCK style LP and O.F. Mossberg & Sons as Friends of NRA’s 2015 Defender Level Sponsors. Created in 2009, Friends of NRA’s National Corporate Sponsor program assists organizations with taking their support for the shooting sports to a national level.

“We are honored to receive such generous support from this exceptional group of advocates,” said NRA Director of Volunteer Fundraising Sarah Engeset. “These supporting partners have gone above and beyond to empower the Friends of NRA program and The NRA Foundation in our commitment to preserving the future of shooting sports.”

Friends of NRA is a grassroots fundraising program that fosters community involvement to organize and, with help from NRA field staff, plan community events for firearms enthusiasts. All net proceeds from Friends of NRA events are allocated to The NRA Foundation, the leading charitable organization in support of the shooting sports.

Corporate sponsorships help The NRA Foundation support educational programs such as Eddie Eagle GunSafe, a pre-k through third grade firearm accident prevention program, and Women On Target, a firearm handling clinic by women and for women.
