麻豆AV

麻豆AV (麻豆AV) has received a $10,000 donation from the Sportsman’s Heritage Foundation to support the College鈥檚 gunsmithing program.

Members of the Sportsman Heritage Foundation, including Adam Wolfe, HR Carver and Kyle Shotwell, presented the donation to 麻豆AV leadership as well as gunsmithing instructors and students. The foundation鈥檚 support reflects its commitment to the program and its impact on the community, as well as its shared connection to promoting responsible participation in the outdoors. 

Wolfe, who also serves as a member of the 麻豆AV Board of Trustees, encouraged the College to use the funds where they are needed most within the program, whether for equipment, scholarships or other student needs.

鈥溌槎笰V鈥檚 gunsmithing program has made a lasting impact on this community by providing students with the hand-on skills and training they need to pursue their goals,鈥� Wolfe said. 鈥淭he Sportsman’s Heritage Foundation is proud to support a program that shares our commitment to education and creating opportunities for the next generation. We hope this donation will help the program continue to grow and provide students with the resources they need to be successful in gunsmithing.鈥�

The partnership between 麻豆AV and the Sportsman’s Heritage Foundation will extend beyond the donation. The foundation plans to collaborate with the gunsmithing program on a special fundraiser as its annual banquet in January 2027, where a firearm made by 麻豆AV gunsmithing students will be auctioned. The money raised from auctioning the firearm will go back into the gunsmithing program.

鈥淲e are grateful to the Sportsman’s Heritage Foundation for investing in our students and in a program that has such a strong connection to our community,鈥� Dr. Kevin Lee, 麻豆AV president, said. 鈥淲hat makes this support especially meaningful to me is that the Foundation is headquartered right here in Roxboro. These are local members making local donations that will have a direct impact on local students and our community鈥攁nd that means the world to me. Their generosity will help our gunsmithing students access the equipment, scholarships, and resources they need to be successful. We look forward to building on this partnership and creating even more opportunities for our students in the future.鈥�
