Support the NRA and the shooting sports at Friends of NRA dinners in New Jersey, Ohio, California and more

Fairfax, Virginia - Straight from the NRA's Event Marketing and Communications Manager, Nicole McMahon, here are your Friends of NRA banquets for the next week.

At Friends of NRA banquets you can find friendly, generous people who gather out of their love of the Second Amendment to raise money for local, state and national shooting sports programs. And each event is run by our absolutely dedicated volunteers. Without their help, we would not be able to have such reach across the country or make as much of an impact on the future of our shooting sports heritage as we do today.
