Miller High Life “Pours Back” $50,000 to Whitetails Unlimited

Ohio --(Ammoland.com)- Hunting season purchases of Miller High Life and Miller High Life Light throughout Wisconsin benefited Whitetails Unlimited with a $50,000 donation, which will advance programs such as WTU’s Project POLITE, Whitetail Watch, and Comprehensive Deer Management, along with WTU’s mission of education, conservation, and the preservation of an American tradition.

MillerCoors and their Wisconsin distributors donated 50 cents for every 30-pack of the two Miller High Life brands sold at retail outlets, and a nickel for every bottle, can or glass sold in restaurants, bars and taverns during October and November.

That resulted in a $50,000 check being presented to Whitetails Unlimited by Dan Genatempo, MillerCoors commercial development manager, Great Lakes region.

The WTU program is part of a larger initiative dubbed “Every Beer Pours Back,” focusing on improving the quality of life in a state where MillerCoors makes a significant economic impact. In Wisconsin, MillerCoors and their distributors employ more than 3,000 people, with a payroll of more than $175 million. These distributors and employees support numerous charitable organizations throughout Wisconsin.

“Our partnership with Whitetails Unlimited allows us to support an important organization,” said Jim Wright, general manager of MillerCoors Wisconsin.

“We want to thank MillerCoors and their network of distributors in Wisconsin,” said Pete Gerl, WTU executive director.

“We can’t say enough about how excited we are with this partnership, and we understand the impact the MillerCoors distributors have in Wisconsin. We’ve had great positive feedback from our Wisconsin field directors, and also from our members in the state. This kind of support goes a long way in advancing our important programs that support conservation.”

Both Whitetails Unlimited and MillerCoors were gratified by the consumer support for the program, and discussions are underway as to the status of the program for the 2011 season.

“T-Bone will be a great addition to a great banquet,” said WTU Ohio Field Director Denny Malloy, noting that “he’s one of the most down-to-earth celebrities you can ever meet, and he’s more entertaining in person than he is on screen.”

The Mid-Ohio Valley Chapter banquet is a fundraising event sponsored by Whitetails Unlimited, the country’s premier white-tailed deer conservation organization. The evening includes a dinner, auction, and prizes with a wide array of products such as firearms, outfitter packages, hunting and outdoor-related equipment, artwork, and collectibles only available at WTU events. Doors open for a social hour at 5:00 p.m. and the prime rib and chicken dinner will start at 7:00 p.m. Tickets will not be sold at the door, but can be ordered online, or by phone at (740) 678-1436, or toll-free at WTU National headquarters at (800) 274-5471. For more information visit www.whitetailsunlimited.com.

T-Bone Turner brings years of experience as a championship archer, hunter, and television personality. In addition to Realtree Outdoors, he is a pro-staff member of a number of outstanding companies in the outdoor sports industry, including Hoyt, Hunter Safety System, G5 Outdoors, and Bushnell. Turner is also the celebrity archery expert to the stars, working with Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Jordan, Michael Waddell, David Blanton, and several country music and major league baseball stars on their archery setups and shooting advice. Turner currently resides in Hogansville, Georgia, with his wife, Michelle, and son, Archer. For more information, please visit: www.TboneOutdoors.com, www.bonecollector.com, or www.realtree.com.

“T-Bone brings that ‘Brotherhood of the Bone Collector’ attitude to Ohio,” said Malloy, “which fits in perfectly with Buckeye sportsmen. I’m really looking forward to sharing a great night with the best deer hunters in the world. We’re in the heart of Ohio’s hunting heritage, and T-Bone is traveling a long way to share his hunting stories from years of experience with Realtree and the Bone Collector, and celebrate the American tradition of deer hunting with us.” Malloy added that,

“All hunters, sportsmen, and conservationists are invited, and for more information, to print out an invitation flyer, or order tickets, just go to the WTU website at www.whitetailsunlimited.com.”
