Marine Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation - Fundraiser Event - Request for Info

[ACCULIXX]

Howdy Y'all!

I would like to organize a fundraising event for the MSSHF in Tx. I would like to inquire for advice/tips from those of you who participate with the MSSHF or have previously hosted fundraisers for them. Any of you in Tx who would like to help or create a small team to organize the event, feel free to comment or DM me.

I will of course reach out to the MSSHF first before officially organizing the event, but this is more to gather information and tips to better understand what has been required or done before for this type of event. As well as create a discussion thread for any other members or organizations to use for their own events.

My event plan thus far is below, feel free to pitch ideas or recommendations:

• Event location: San Antonio / Dallas / College Station / Houston
• Ticket/Registration Event
  • Combines all Gun Range, food costs, plus a flat donation to the MSSHF
    • BBQ Catering or Food Trucks
  • Raffle Tickets purchased separately (if donations are given / all proceeds go to MSSHF)
• Gun Range: Pistol and Rifle Competition, and USMC Pistol and Rifle exhibition (service-issued and replicas welcomed)
  • A Place To Shoot
  • Texas Gun Ranch
  • CCC Shooting Complex
  • The Ranch Tx Club
  • American Shooting Center
• Raffle Event (preferred donations of USMC related Memorabilia, Rifle and Pistol Parts, Accessories, Clothing, Insignia, Coins, Documents)
• Commemorative Ceremony
  • Former and active-duty Marine Scout Snipers (including MOS 0322)
  • Honorary mention of and prayer over all former and active-duty Military and Law-Enforcement Members
  • Speech/Event Outro from a representative or board-member from the MSHHF

If this event agenda goes well, my goal would be to make it an annual event, potentially changing between ranges to diversify the event reach. For any other interested parties or members of the MSSHF that like this idea/agenda, feel free to use it, it's for y'alls benefit.

For any other organization or business that owns a shooting range, and wasn't mentioned above, feel free to reach out if interested in hosting, sponsoring, or donating gift certificates for classes or services. I am thinking that 300yds - 500yds would be ideal for the rifles, outdoor preferably, but I am option to any and all those who offer to host, thanks in advance!

What I would probably recommend is reach out to Tim Parkhurst. He would be the lead in this.

I got in contact with the MSSHF, and had a great discussion regarding planned events and being able to help the organization.

Tips and recommendations are still welcomed, and feel free to reach out if you are in Tx, the organization is looking for state-local volunteers.
