Celebrating 30 Years of Friends of NRA

As Friends of NRA enters its 30th year, we reflect on the hard-work and support our countless volunteers, sponsors, and industry partners have given to make our program successful year after year. Over the past 30 years, 24 thousand events have raised over $1 billion dollars for the NRA Foundation. In return, the NRA Foundation has funded over 52,000 grants to provide critical funding to educational firearm programs on the local, state, and national levels. We want to take a moment to congratulate the entire Friends of NRA team that has worked so tirelessly to promote a unified voice to secure the future vision of the shooting sports.

To celebrate our 30 years, Friends of NRA selected a package from our US partners offering custom firearms inscribed with the Friends of NRA 30^th Anniversary logo and merchandise carefully selected for freedom defenders. The Standard Merchandise & Firearms Package has become highly sought after with the one of a kind items that are only available at Friends of NRA events across the nation. Each year we select a Gun of the Year, and we are excited to announce our 2022 Gun of the Year is the Sig Sauer 1911 STX .45 with Friends of NRA 30th Anniversary Grips! Learn more about our Gun of the Year and other custom items that are featured in our 2022 Standard Package below or click here.
