What can I expect at a Friends of NRA Event?
The format is simple - food, fun, family and fund-raising. Whether you are a hunter, competitive shooter or just a proud gun owner, Friends of NRA events have something of interest for the entire family. Events include dinner followed by exciting auctions and special drawings for unique and collectible merchandise. Attendees bid on items from the Friends of NRA merchandise package, as well as special products and services donated by local businesses and community members.
How are event funds distributed?
All net proceeds benefit the NRA Foundation, with half allocated to fund projects within the state where the money was raised. The NRA Foundation uses the other half to fund similar projects with a national scope. Friends of NRA committee volunteers are appointed to a State Fund Committee and make recommendations for local grant funding. To date, The NRA Foundation has funded more than 15,000 state fund grants for a total of $125 million, including but not limited to: youth firearms safety and education programs; hunter education; range development and improvement; support materials for training classes; women's safety classes; and wildlife conservation efforts. Recognizing that America's young people represent the future of the shooting sports, State Fund Committee grants frequently target youth programs, allocating more than 50% of grant monies to this important area.
Have a business? Want to support the cause? Have Something to Donate? Call and be recognized. Can't attend but still would like to donate? The future of our 2nd Amendment Right and All Rights protected by it depend on your support!!! And our children and their children are counting on us. Being an NRA Member just isn't enough anymore.

I'll support them if they support a ban on assualt weapons.
These events are always a lot of fun! Ray Wheatley is a good man and he really believes that the second amendment is an individual right that we as American Citizens hold.
10:14 your a moron.
your(sp) 2:47? Why don't you stick an assualt weapon up "your" a$$. Then let me know if it should be banned.
Funny, I have never been assaulted by any type of firearm, even when I was in Vietnam.
Of course my ball point pen, in the course of writing some notes has misspelled many words. I guess it is kind of like all the guns killing and assaulting people.
Joe, thank you so very much for putting the Friends of NRA Dinner on your blog. I and many of my friends will be in attendance.
