Pressroom

[Las Vegas, NV ] – Monday, January 30, 2023 – A fundraising auction hosted by GunBroker.com® benefiting NSSF’s Project ChildSafe®, raised a total of $39,330 for Project ChildSafe. A program of NSSF, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, Project ChildSafe works to help prevent firearm accidents, thefts, and misuse.

GunBroker.com®, the world’s largest online marketplace for firearms, hunting, and shooting, generated a tremendous amount of awareness for Project ChildSafe and donation partners. The total GunBroker.com page count generated for all auction items exceeded 71,488 page views. Between GunBroker.com, NSSF, and donation partners, dozens of press releases promoting the auction went live between the first day of the auction, December 26, 2022, and the last day of the auction, January 20, 2023. Over four million impressions were reached in one month related to the NSSF, GunBroker.com, and partners promoting this auction. Throwing its support behind Project ChildSafe, GunBroker.com donated all services related to the month-long hosting of the auctions free of charge and provided featured placement on its homepage for each of them.

Joe Bartozzi, NSSF’s President and CEO, and Chairman of the Project ChildSafe Foundation had this to say about the auction:

“We are thrilled to accept this donation from GunBroker.com in support of NSSF’s Project ChildSafe program. GunBroker.com went all out in putting together this auction of great products that resulted in enthusiastic bidding and that was promoted during NSSF’s SHOT Show. We are grateful to those companies who donated to the auction, to the bidders, and to GunBroker.com, whose efforts will help Project ChildSafe provide more firearm safety resources nationwide.”

Some of the industry’s most well-known and respected companies generously donated products to the Project ChildSafe Foundation auction, including an HM Defense HM50B .50 BMG rifle package, 15 Hornady Rapid Safes Night Guard RFID, a Ruger Precision Custom Shop rifle, a 6.5 Creedmoor, a Henry Big Boy Deluxe Engraved 3rd Edition, firearm accessories, and much more.
