2024 Annual Rockstar Winners Our Annual Rockstar Program is a year-long incentive offered to every youth shooting team with an endowment. Each team that receives a match-eligible donation throughout the calendar year is entered to win additional endowment funds. Annual Rockstar awards teams that work hard all year long to fundraise and grow their endowment…and work hard they did! Teams generated over $3.7 million in match-eligible donations in 2024, and 1,825 youth shooting teams received a donation.

The top five fundraising teams of the year have been awarded endowment funds, and 15 teams (highlighted in green) were awarded $2,000, each, through a random draw.

The total dollars raised by our top fundraising teams is over $580,000! Not only did these teams take advantage of our 1:1 match, which will continue in 2025, but they also conducted a variety of fundraisers in their community. Many teams use our free fundraising products to raise money and the dollars generated from our sponsor-donated products are also matched.

Graduating seniors and rising stars will have the chance to showcase their talents in front of coaches while taking their first steps toward collegiate competition. Additionally, this program provides aspiring athletes with a pathway to represent Team USA on Junior or National Teams, with sights set on competing in the Olympics.
