birdiessignoncourseNSSF is proud to announce that the SHOT Show Birdies for the Brave golf outing at TPC Summerlin raised more than $100,000 for military homefront groups.

This was the third straight year that NSSF hosted the charity golf event at the SHOT Show in partnership with the PGA Tour for Birdies for the Brave. This is the second year in a row the event raised more than $100,000 for the eight charities supported by Birdies for the Brave. It’s a great opportunity for our industry to provide even more support for those who have sacrificed so much for our country.

Birdies for the Brave is a national military outreach initiative proudly supported by the PGA Tour. It was founded by PGA Tour pro Phil Mickelson and his wife, Amy.

Joe Maguire, President and CEO of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, an organization that recently paid the tuitions of 19 sons and daughters of brave soldiers who lost their lives in Afghanistan. The Special Operations Warrior Foundation believes that no child should be provided with less opportunity because of their parents’ brave sacrifice to our nation.

NSSF is a proud supporter of this event and thanks all the event sponsors and everyone who came out to the course to show their support for these organizations.
