Ridgeland rifle team looking for support
Ridgeland High School has joined the Giving Tuesday movement, a global day of giving that kicks off the giving season and follows Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
On this day, Dec. 3, Ridgeland’s rifle team asks for your support to grow their shooting team endowment at the Midwayusa Foundation. Ridgeland High School has their own, earmarked team endowment at the Midwayusa Foundation, a public charity that helps communities and organizations raise funds for their high school, college and other youth shooting teams and activities.
Each year, teams with a Midwayusa Foundation Team Endowment are eligible to receive a cash grant from that endowment to use for expenses like ammunition, travel, targets, uniforms, entry fees and more.
“At Ridgeland we’re building a legacy”, said Ridgeland coach Carl Gentry. “The kindness being shown through donations today will help sustain our team for life. That’s huge. We’re impacting generations and keeping our communities and children safe.”
One of the main ways teams grow their team endowment is through online donations, which are matched. Those interested in giving to the Ridgeland High School rifle team, where your donation will be matched, can visit the Midwayusa Foundation website (midwayusafoundation.org/donate) and search for Ridgeland High School.
Donations are tax deductible and 100 percent of the donation, as well as the match, benefits that specific shooting team. This funding is available for the life of the team so growing the endowment is crucial to the future of our local shooting team.
