By partnering with an organization like the NRA, Brenda and I are helping to protect the rights of all Americans, said Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA. Thanks to our customers, who love the NRA just as much as we do, our sponsorship is something we can do and something we should do. We are committed to doing what we can to help change the future.
MidwayUSA was founded in Columbia, Missouri in 1977. Over the years, the company has developed a strong commitment to Friends of NRA and the shooting sports. Co-owner Brenda Potterfield previously served as Vice President of the NRA Foundation's Board of Trustees.
The shooting and hunting industry has long supported Friends of NRA, said John da Silva, National Manager of Events & Marketing forFriends of NRA. Both Larry and Brenda Potterfield appreciate the significance of our mission and generously provide support through MidwayUSA at the local and national levels.
