The funds were distributed to over 350 shooting team endowment accounts. This generous amount is based on each team\u2019s participation and overall performance in not only the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) events, but also the Scholastic Pistol Program (SPP) competitions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSSSF\u2019s commitment to the furthering of youth shooting sports is commendable and exciting\u201d says Dick Leeper, Executive Director of the MidwayUSA Foundation. \u201cTheir generous contribution plays a key role in our Foundation\u2019s ongoing ability to assist shooting teams in meeting both near and long term funding requirements, ultimately permanently securing their team\u2019s financial future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The MidwayUSA Foundation works with shooting teams, conservation groups and the shooting industry to raise funds in support of high school and collegiate shooting programs. Each donation, such as the money received from the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation, brings the Scholastic Shooting Trust another step closer to achieving sustainable support for youth shooting programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompetitive shooting teams provide wonderful opportunities for students to make friends, develop confidence, and learn discipline and leadership skills,\u201d said Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO, MidwayUSA. \u201cBrenda and I are elated to see SSSF participate in the MidwayUSA Foundation, Inc. and greatly appreciate their dedication in growing shooting sports across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>For more information about The MidwayUSA Foundation, Inc. and Scholastic Shooting Trust, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.midwayusafoundation.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.midwayusafoundation.org<\/a> or call 1-877-375-4570.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MidwayUSA Foundation and Scholastic Shooting Trust has received a donation from the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation in the amount of $2,017,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":22297,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[3216],"class_list":["post-25920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-from-the-industry","tag-the-midwayusa-foundation-and-scholastic-shooting-trust"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
