sportsmen’s Alliance Multiple Grants Sig Sauer joins Business
partner program
The Dallas Safari Club and Dallas Safari Club
Foundation recently awarded the Sportsmen’s
Alliance two grants to assist in the protection and
advancement of hunting, fishing and trapping. The
two grants bolster the support of the Sportsmen’s
Alliance by the Dallas Safari Club entities, which have
been strong proponents of the Sportsmen’s Alliance
mission since 1989.
“We’re extremely pleased to once again partner
with the Dallas Safari Club, and their Foundation,”
said Evan Heusinkveld, Sportsmen’s Alliance
president and CEO. “Their continual commitment to
protecting hunting rights, both at home and abroad,
helps ensure sportsmen have a voice when it comes
to the future of hunting. We’re extremely thankful for
their continued leadership and support.”
The funding will allow the Sportsmen’s Alliance
and the Sportsmen’s Aliance Foundation to continue
educating outdoorsmen, women and children, as well
as the general public, on the vital role sportsmen
play in wildlife conservation. Additionally, the
funding will help with the legal defense of sportsmen
in courts and the continual monitoring of state
legislatures, as well as defense at state ballot boxes
where needed and the expansion of Families Afield
legislation nationwide, which reduces barriers for
new hunters getting afield.
“Dallas Safari Club is proud to support
Sportsmen’s Alliance,” said Dallas Safari Club
Executive Director, Corey Mason. “Their work
to protect and defend our wildlife conservation
programs and hunting is to be applauded.”
Started in 1972, the Dallas Safari Club has grown
to become an international organization that offers
a gathering point for hunters, conservationists and
wildlife enthusiasts. Their grant program contributes
