HAVA/NSSF Golf Tournament Raises $50,000 For Veterans
of HAVA’s programs. This year’s outing had 146 industry attendees.
The NSSF announced its 6th Annual NSSF/HAVA Golf Classic to benefit Honored American Veterans Afield (HAVA) raised $50,000. The golf tournament, hosted once again by Bear’s Best Las Vegas, took place Sunday, Jan. 19, two days before the official opening of the 2020 SHOT Show.
HAVA, a 501(c)(3) organization formed by companies in the shooting and outdoor industry, supports disabled veterans as they work through their respective healing processes and reintegrate into civilian life. HAVA accomplishes this mission through guided hunts, target shooting events and other outdoor sports activities.
A total of 146 professionals from the firearms industry attended this year’s golf outing. Both individuals and four-person teams played the top-rated, Jack Nicklaus-designed course. In addition to entry fees, players raised funds for HAVA through a variety of contests and raffles for a chance of winning impressive prizes.
Georgia USA (Georgia Department of Economic Development) was a Silver sponsor of this year’s NSSF/HAVA Golf Classic. Bronze sponsors included Geissele Automatics, GLOCK, SIG SAUER and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW).
“With 2020’s funds, the NSSF/HAVA Golf Tournament has raised more than $350,000 in the six years we’ve held this event before SHOT Show,” said Chris Dolnack, NSSF SVP and CMO. “It’s one small way we can thank our country’s veterans for doing all they can to protect America’s freedoms, and we extend our thanks to the event’s sponsors for helping us continue this tradition of fundraising through this outing.”
