The 3rd Annual Toys for Tots Combat Challenge Match was once again a huge success! We had 169 participants from 15 states compete in this year's event and over 470 toys were collected in support of this charitable cause. For the third year in a row, we have successfully presented the largest charity combat shooting event in the country in support of the Toys for Tots Foundation!
Competition was fierce as we attracted shooters from Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee,Virginia and Wisconsin to compete in this years match.
Shooters competed for trophies in the Combat Challenge Match and also competed for donated firearms and prizes in the Revenge of the Pepper Poppers side match,
Beretta Challenge side match, Shotgun Run side match and the
Man vs. Man Steel Challenge side match.
We had over 80 sponsors make contributions to this year’s event and I’d like to thank all of these sponsors for their support. These sponsors played a critical role in supporting the event logistically and have donated over 300 prizes, which included 15 firearms, for the side match and raffle tables valued at over $ 16,000.00!
I'd especially like to thank Action Target, Beretta, Law Enforcement Targets, Precision Ammunition, Safe Direction, Smith & Wesson and Winchester for providing firearms, targets and ammunition for participants to use at this year's event.
Without the support of these sponsors, this event would not have been possible. Please make an effort to contact the event sponsors, which are listed in the left side bar of this page, as well as at the bottom of the page, and thank them for the generous contributions they have made.
I’d like to personally thank everyone that participated in this year’s match and all those who contributed to support the Toys for Tots Foundation toy drive. I’d also like to thank the United States Marine Corps Reserves for working with us to help make this event possible as well as the Harvey Police Department for hosting the event at the Harvey Police Department Range.
A very special thank you goes to my family, friends, co-workers, members of the
North Suburban Police Pistol League and Spartan Tactical Training Group staff who unselfishly donated their time to work this all-volunteer event, and add the personal touch and unwavering commitment that was needed to make this high energy event a success!
On behalf of the Toys for Tots Foundation and the United States Marine Corps, thank you for supporting this years event and we look forward to seeing you at the next
Toys for Tots Combat Challenge Match!
Have a wonderful Christmas holiday season! Stay sharp and train safe.
Respectfully,
John Krupa III
