The NRA Foundation Banquet and Auction, held during the NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits, is the premier fundraising event of the year, supporting shooting sports programs across the country. The event will take place at the Georgia World Congress Center on April 25, 2025, at 5pm.
The banquet, proudly presented by premier sponsor Henry Repeating Arms, will kick off with a silent auction, games, and raffles—including the fan-favorite Locked and Loaded game featuring exclusive discounted game tickets available only in advance. Guests will then enjoy dinner and a special program, culminating in a live auction featuring exotic hunts, highly sought-after firearms, and other unique merchandise.
The NRA Foundation is proud to announce four distinguished guests who will take part in the program. Acclaimed fiddler Jimmy Herman, best known for performing with Carrie Underwood, will open the event with a stirring rendition of the National Anthem. Anthony Imperato, founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms, will deliver a keynote address and make a heartfelt contribution in support of veterans. Retired U.S. Navy Surface Warfare Officer and motivational speaker Vann Morris will then share an uplifting, patriotic message, sure to inspire attendees before the live auction begins. Capping off this unforgettable evening, outdoor lifestyle icon and entrepreneur Eva Shockey, owner of Eva & Co., will take the stage to speak on her donated merchandise—a must-see moment you won’t want to miss!
The NRA Foundation extends its gratitude to Henry Repeating Arms for their unwavering support and for proudly serving as the Premier Sponsor of the event.
