Programs such as NRA’s Youth Hunter Education Challenge (YHEC) thrive in part thanks to generous support from industry sponsors such as Remington. While many sponsors have helped to make YHEC a success over the years, Remington is the only company to support YHEC for the entire 25 years that the program has been in existence.
NRA kicked off the 25th anniversary of the YHEC program by recognizing Remington’s commitment to training young hunters. At the event’s opening ceremony in Mansfield, Pa., on Monday, Bob Davis, manager of NRA’s Hunter Services Department, presented Remington Conservation Sales Manager Barry Bond (pictured at left) with the newly minted NRA YHEC Sponsorship Award.
“Twenty-five years has been quite the ride,” said Davis to the crowd. “But only one company has been with us for the entire ride—and that’s Remington.”
The award itself has three sides: one to represent NRA, the second to represent YHEC, and the third to represent Remington. As Bond accepted the award, he spoke to the participants, coaches, and families about the importance of the YHEC program, and how Remington will continue to help the program grow.
“Remington will ALWAYS be there for you,” said Bond.
Thanks again to Remington for their generous and long-standing support of the YHEC program and for continuing to help hunting and the shooting sports flourish across the country.
