This expansion is a sign of continued success in advancing the mission of our organization.

“These young men and women are bold ambassadors for competitive shooting sports and represent the next generation of Second Amendment advocates. Congratulations to our South Carolina grant recipients and thank you to all Double D Foundation supporters and sponsors for funding our grant program.”
