(AmmoLand.com) The North American Virtual Sportshow announces our first online auction for the benefit of American Veterans Afield (HAVA). This auction fundraiser, hosted by GunBroker.com, opens on February 23, 2015, with three stages of exciting auction items open to bidding for two-week periods. 100% of auction proceeds will support the HAVA mission of assisting veterans and their families with guided hunts, shooting events, family days and other outdoor activities.
“This is an outstanding show of support by the North American Virtual Sportshow for America’s disabled veterans as they work to develop confidence in the future,” said HAVA Chairman Tom Taylor. “As HAVA continues serving disabled veterans on behalf of the sporting and outdoor industry, we are honored that more and more like-minded people are supporting our work to get these great Americans back outdoors to hunt and fish.”
