Friends of NRA is a fund-raising program by the National Rifle Association of America's Wayne Sheets and MidwayUSA's Founder and CEO, Larry Potterfield.[1]

Since its inception in 1992, Friends of NRA has held over 17,600 events, reached over 3.2 million attendees and raised over $600 million for The NRA Foundation.[2]

A typical Friends of NRA event starts with a reception that includes games, raffles and a silent auction. Attendees will eat dinner and listen to a guest speaker, if one is present. The evening will conclude with a live auction and winners are chosen from the games, raffles and silent auction.[3]
