A 501c3 Match Charity

Homes For Our Troops Logo

The Gulf Coast Championship is charity match. All match profits and all raffle proceeds are donated to Homes for Our Troops (HFOT).

HFOT's Mission: To build and donate specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans, to enable them to rebuild their lives.

HFOT is an A-rated charity with only 10% administrative cost. This a very worthy cause and we are honored to have the opportunity to support them.

We are currently seeking firearms, cash, and other items with a value of $500 or more for our raffle table. Last year's items included 3 firearms, 2 Mantis-X Systems, and CASH!
We look forward to helping our sponsors advertise and impressing our shooters with an awesome raffle table!
