Potterfields Recognized for Leadership in Supporting SSSF Mission

Potterfields Recognized for Leadership in Supporting SSSF Mission by MidwayUSA
Columbia, MO -

The Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF), the leader in youth development shooting sports programs, has launched a new fundraising initiative for 2014-2015 to fuel the foundation’s mission. The SSSF is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that powers the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and the Scholastic Pistol Program (SPP).

The fundraising effort will offer four different ways for supporters to participate: the SSSF Annual Fund, the Champion’s Roundtable for major gifts, Scholarship and Operating Endowment Funds for designated donations, and the Legacy Society for donors who wish to include SSSF in their estate plans.

As part of this initiative, SSSF is proud to announce that Larry and Brenda Potterfield, founders of MidwayUSA, have been named “Founding Life Diamond Members” of the Champion’s Roundtable, which recognizes donors who have made major contributions to our mission.

“Our Foundation is blessed to have strong leadership support from Larry and Brenda, whose generosity has allowed us to significantly grow our programs,” said Louise K. Terry, Chairperson of the SSSF Board of Directors. “We hope there are many other supporters who will find a level of giving that suits their circumstances and will join Larry, Brenda, and the SSSF Board members to ensure the future of our great programs.”

Larry and Brenda are also Charter Members of the SSSF Legacy Society, which honors donors who have included SSSF in their estate plans through deferred gifts.

“We invite other donors to follow the leadership of Larry and Brenda and join them in support of our mission to develop the leaders of tomorrow who will perpetuate the future of youth shooting and be good stewards of our Second Amendment rights,” said Dan Hathaway, Director of Foundation Development.
