SCTP Banquets Raise Funds to Support Scholarships & Teams

Written on .

The SCTP has run several national banquets in March only to see some huge returns and support by teams and the general public! The largest banquet to date was held Friday, March 16th in Waterford, WI.

The Wisconsin banquet completed its 5th year running, raising funds for programs and scholarships administered by the SCTP National organization.

This year’s banquets featured a Henry Rifle with the SCTP logo engraved into the stock. The funds raised from those 2 live auction items (Wisconsin and Iowa) will be given out to lucky recipients of scholarships in those 2 states. The Wisconsin banquet raised $1,300 and will be recognized as the “Scherrer Construction” scholarship while the Iowa banquet raised $1,050 and will be named the “Bobby Wood“scholarship and awarded to a deserving Iowa athlete!

The Wisconsin banquet had not only local representation but SCTP team representation as well. Coaches and families from 10 local teams (representing about 700 athletes) in Wisconsin attended the festivities! The local team (BHS Demons Shooting Team) was the host of this year’s banquet securing silent auction items and donations from various local businesses in support of the National organization. In Iowa, the BGM Shotgunners took the lead for their 2nd annual SCTP National banquet to date! Both teams raised some much needed funds for themselves as well as local support of their programs.

The 2nd annual Iowa banquet was held at the Manatt Center in Brooklyn, Iowa and was also well attended and supported by local businesses and people in the community. While this banquet was the first one run by the current team members and coaches, they did an exceptional job in securing help and support by the team, parents and others!

In running these banquets, the SCTP also raised funds in support of its foundation, the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF). Promoting and supporting foundation memberships also helps secure the future of the SSSF’s programs!

“We couldn’t have been happier with the results of this year’s banquets!” Said Tom Wondrash, SCTP’s National Director. “These funds are used for several things including new programs and team support. Scholarships given out to SCTP athletes utilizes the biggest portion of the funds raised and we absolutely appreciate the help by the teams and families in making this possible”

“RIO Ammunition believes in supporting and encouraging the youth of our great country, to carry on traditions set forth by their parents and grandparents.” Said Bryan Bornes, Product Marketing Manager at RIO Ammunition. “Working with a great group such as SCTP for the last 4+ years, encourages this and allows us to achieve our goals in providing the best ammunition possible for today’s market!”

RIO is about excitement, about enjoying life and about sharing your experiences with those around you. RIO is spending time in the outdoors with family and friends. As a leader in outdoor recreation, RIO offers reliability and confidence in sporting cartridges!

“We appreciate the continued support of the SCTP by RIO Ammunition!” Cited Tom Wondrash, SCTP’s National Director. “RIO has been involved with SCTP for a while now, supporting our program along with the many teams and families. RIO’s elevated support this year will allow us to carry their brand in our store front at this year’s National Championships being held at the Cardinal Center in Marengo, Ohio July 14th-21st!
