Support the NRA and the shooting sports at Friends of NRA dinners in California, Utah and North Carolina

Friends of NRA

Wednesday morning means it's time again to welcome Nicole McMahon, NRA Event Marketing and Communications Manager, for this week's rundown of Friends of NRA banquets scheduled to take off across the United States.

There are about 1,100 Friends of NRA dinners held every year and they're all driven, and put on, by our dedicated volunteers. All money raised at banquets goes right back into supporting the shooting sports - half into national programs and half into local and state programs where the banquet was held. If you haven't made it to one of our tables, fear not. The season has just begun, there are plenty of opportunities to catch up.

To attend an event in your neighborhood, check the Friends of NRA website for a list of upcoming events in your state. Bookmark that page while you're at it because they are adding events all the time.
