The National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW) Board of Directors recently took several actions in support of industry organizations and causes including the approval of three donations on behalf of their member firms.

A $25,000 donation has been made to the US Olympic Shooting Team, a $30,000 donation to NSSF’s Project ChildSafe education program and a $50,000 donation to the NRA-ILA (Institute for Legislative Action).

“Our Board carefully reviews and considers what would be in the best interest of our members and how to further industry initiatives for all of our members,” said Kent Williams, NASGW Chairman of the Board. “It’s an important task and one that we take very seriously.”

“We make every effort to align these causes and their respective organizations to reflect the Association’s values while also working with these groups to make a meaningful impact on the future success of the industry and a genuine commitment to the community that we serve,” said Maurice (Moe) Desmarais, NASGW president.
