“We are very excited to have SIG SAUER step up as the first sponsor of the 2016 HAVA Golf Tournament,” said Chris Dolnack, NSSF Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. “There are many veterans charities out there, but HAVA enjoys immense support from the firearms industry, and so we are pulling out all the stops to make this year’s event one for the record books. SIG’s generosity goes a long way towards helping us ensure we meet that goal.”
“For many of these wounded veterans, their passion for the shooting sports and the outdoors is a powerful tool in their recovery and healing,” said Ron Cohen, Chief Executive Officer for SIG SAUER, Inc. “SIG SAUER is honored to assist this outstanding organization in its efforts to get these American heroes back in the field and on the range.”
