Announcing the Winners of the 2025 Hometown Challenge Sweepstakes!
We are thrilled to announce the winners of this year’s Hometown Challenge Sweepstakes! This 2025 event was, in fact, our most successful sweepstakes to date, and as a result, we raised more funds for youth shooting sports than ever before. Thanks to the incredible participation of youth shooting teams nationwide, 533 teams received endowment donations in September, totaling $735,298.51. With our 1:1 match thanks to Larry and Brenda Potterfield, that means over $1.47 million is going to youth shooting teams, all in one month!
In addition, youth shooting sports organizations brought in $85,930, supporting their missions and expanding the reach of the Hometown Challenge. Altogether, that brings our total impact to $1,638,527.02, making this year’s event a tremendous success for the entire community.
To celebrate the efforts of participating teams, we awarded $80,000 in endowment incentive dollars. The top five teams earned special recognition as winners of the Team Incentive Challenge, and we randomly selected 30 additional teams to each receive $1,000 in endowment funds.
1. WV – West Virginia University R66236 $131,055.00 | Won $15,000
