The Memorial 3 Gun Foundation believes adamantly in our cause and even more so in the families of our Special Forces Operators. The Memorial 3 Gun Foundation currently supports 58 Special Operations Gold Star families. As such, the foundation has developed four pillars of giving back to these families that have sacrificed so much:
1. Annually donate $100,000 amongst that year’s 10 Honoree Families.
2. Annual assistance to all Honoree families, past & present (holiday assistance, scholarships, birthday support for SOF Gold Star children, shooting competition setups, etc.).
3. Once-in-a-lifetime vacations for SOF Gold Star families (as available).
4. Fifteen-year goal of purchasing a new home or paying the mortgage of a SOF Gold Star Family in dire need of support.
The Memorial 3 Gun Foundation hosts an annual 3-day competition where we honor 10 SOF “Gold Star” families suffering the loss of spouses, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters. These “Honorees” made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and we want to ensure these Gold Star families know they are not alone and their loved one is not forgotten.
Through this 3-gun competition, we bring together the competitive shooting community to learn about each fallen hero, and provide a memorable experience for everyone involved.
On the second weekend of October each year, hundreds of competitors and supporters join together for a weekend of competitive shooting, remembrance of the fallen and the support of their Gold Star families. Competitors can expect traditional 3 gun-style stages and non-traditional shooting stages. At each shooting stage, range officers share the story of a specific Honoree and have competitors sign a photo poster that is gifted to the Honoree’s family after the competition.
In recent years, many of our Gold Star Families have had the opportunity to participate and shoot their loved one’s stage. This has provided the opportunity for our competitors and supporters to engage with these Gold Star families to learn more about them, their fallen loved one and to offer love and support. The annual event culminates in a memorial ceremony for the honorees and their families and an award presentation for the competitors.
