We do various things through out the year to raise funds. We'll seek out private donations from area businesses and individuals, work with the NRA to obtain one of their grants, we have even sold Krispy Kreme donuts.

This year we will be doing a combination of things, continuing with our other tried and true methods of raising funds, as well as attempting to put on a "Friends of the NRA" Banquet, the proceeds of which would be shared with our organizations, the NRA and other similar local groups. We will also be trapping at the 5th Annual Shriners Hospital Benefit Shoot, where a club member can generally make enough money on tips to cover his or her membership dues.
