Cypress, CA (5/12/2010)
- Honored American Veterans Afield (HAVA)
will conclude its biggest raffle in history -
including a donated Yamaha Grizzly 550 FI EPS
with an assortment of SureFire products as the
grand prize - on May 16, 2010, at the NRA Annual
Meeting and Exhibits in Charlotte, N.C.
Tickets, which were initially sold at the 2010
Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show
earlier this year, will again be available for
purchase directly from HAVA and its sustaining
sponsors' booths at the NRA Show. HAVA sponsors
donated the raffle prizes so that all of the
proceeds can go towards HAVA and its mission
of supporting disabled veterans. HAVA's website
is: www.honoredveterans.org
"We greatly appreciate the support from
our sustaining sponsors who have made this raffle
possible. We expect strong support from the
thousands of attending NRA members who appreciate
the contribution of our disabled veterans who
have given their full commitment to protecting
the American way of life," said HAVA Chairman,
Tom Taylor. "We had a great start to the
promotion at SHOT Show and anticipate a strong
finish at NRA. We hope everyone at the NRA Show
will consider buying a ticket to support this
worthy cause."
"Yamaha is proud to support the veterans
who benefit from HAVA's mission and its activities,"
said Steve Nessl, Yamaha's ATV/Side-by-Side
(SxS) group marketing manager. "As a founding
member, Yamaha plans to continue to help HAVA
through direct contributions and fundraising
efforts such as this raffle. We encourage everyone
to go to HAVA's website to learn more and consider
making a donation to help our veterans."
