ACCOKEEK, Md. (March 25, 2021)– Benelli USA announces a second financial contribution to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) to support leadership and overall operations. The donation will help the NSSF continue their steadfast mission in promoting and preserving recreational shooting and second amendment rights. The contribution of $50,000 to the NSSF follows a previous donation of the same amount this past December.
“It is difficult to put into words how grateful we are for all the hard work the NSSF and their staff put into supporting the shooting and firearm industry this past year and into the future,” said Benelli USA General Manager Tom DeBolt. “We feel one of the most meaningful ways to show our gratitude is to help support the group financially and have doubled our support. They represent the collective voice of the firearms industry and now it is more critical than ever for our voices to be heard as Congress and a new administration look to curb Americans’ rights. We are confident in their vigilant efforts in protecting manufacturers from harmful legislation and future challenges.”
“NSSF relies on the support of its members to carry out its critical work on behalf of our industry, and industry leaders like Benelli USA are a driving force behind our success,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “We can’t say thank you enough to Benelli USA for its leadership and continued outstanding support of NSSF.”
The NSSF is the trade association for the firearms industry and plays a critical role in supporting the shooting sports, gun rights and hunting. With more than 13,000 members, the group annually hosts the industry with SHOT Show to facilitate business and bring together members of the outdoor industry.
