Become a Shootout Sponsor
Every dollar raised puts real equipment and real training in the hands of first responders, military, and veterans in communities like yours. Your sponsorship funds the next AED, the next training container, the next extrication tool.
A Full Day of Competition for a Real Cause
Heroes Defense is hosting its Annual Shootout at Cedar Hills Gun Club in Blackfoot, Idaho on August 22, 2026. The event features sporting clays across 15 stations, team and individual divisions, and a full day of competition with lunch, side games, and raffle prizes.
Every dollar raised funds programs that put real equipment and real training in the hands of first responders, military, and veterans in communities like yours: AEDs in fire stations, vehicle extrication tools that cut rescue times from minutes to seconds, training facilities, and recognition for the people doing the work.
The Details
Charity Shoots Are Everywhere. This One's Different.
Locally Founded
A locally founded nonprofit with a track record of funding tangible, named projects, not pass-through donations to national organizations.
See Where It Goes
A direct line of sight to where the money goes. Sponsorship dollars fund the next AED, the next training container, the next extrication tool.
Real Marketing Reach
A digital-first marketing rollout across Wolf Radio, Local News 8, East Idaho News, and Centre Twin and Movie Mill theaters in Idaho Falls and Blackfoot.
Community-Level Impact
Heroes Defense is a locally founded nonprofit that supports first responders, military personnel, and veterans through community-level impact. We don't write checks to national pass-through charities. We fund the equipment, training, and recognition the people down the street actually need.

Where Your Sponsorship Goes
Sponsorship dollars do not fund overhead and salaries. They fund the next AED, the next training container, the next extrication tool. When you sponsor a station, you are funding equipment that a first responder will use to save a life. That is the story we tell the audience, and it is the story we tell your customers.
