NRA Foundation Announces 2019 Sponsors for National BBQ & Auction
and Wall of Guns at NRA Annual Meetings in Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The National Rifle Association’s 148th Annual Meetings and Exhibits will have its unofficial start at the 2019 National NRA Foundation BBQ & Auction at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind., on Thursday, April 25, at 5:00 p.m. Funds raised at the attendee-favorite event sponsored by Henry Repeating Arms, Kimber and Century Arms—with a pre-event reception at 4 p.m. sponsored by SIG SAUER—benefit The NRA Foundation, America’s leading charitable organization in support of the shooting sports.

“This is a tremendous year for the Foundation,” said NRA Director of Volunteer Fundraising Sarah Engeset. “We couldn’t be more excited with our sponsor line-up. It is because of their support and the tireless work of our volunteers that we are able to continue our mission of Teaching Freedom.”

Event activities will include games and silent and live auctions for exotic hunts, exclusive firearms, outdoor gear and other unique merchandise. One of this year’s live auction showcase items is an Original Henry Deluxe Engraved .44-40 Rifle. This unique rifle is one of only a thousand produced and is perfect for any hunter or collector. The pre-event online auction takes place on Gunbroker.com and runs through April 25 at 9 p.m. EDT.

The popular NRA Foundation Wall of Guns will run throughout the whole weekend, April 26-28, at the NRA Annual Meetings. A $20 ticket gives participants the chance to win a prize from the Wall featuring more than 60 firearms. The 2019 Wall of Guns is sponsored by Henry Repeating Arms, Century Arms, Kel-Tec, Kimber and Nine Line Apparel. Funds raised at the Wall of Guns benefit The NRA Foundation.

Since its inception in 1992, The NRA Foundation has funded more than 49,000 grants totaling in excess of $398 million to qualified local, state and national shooting sports, hunting, conservation and Second Amendment education programs and for the preservation of historical firearms.
