Larry and Brenda Potterfield Larry and Brenda Potterfield recently attended the 2016 Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) National Championships in Marengo, Ohio. This year's National Championships, held at the Cardinal Shooting Center, had approximately 2,500 competitors and was attended by nearly 10,000 coaches, parents, grandparents, siblings, and other spectators. The weeklong schedule of events was a culmination and celebration of the hard work put forth by athletes, coaches, parents, and state advisors throughout the competitive season. "We're proud to partner with the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation to support getting more kids involved in shooting sports," said Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA. "We strongly support initiatives like this because we believe we have an obligation to help change the future for the better." The Potterfields enjoyed a couple rounds of trap with SCTP athletes during their visit. Founding Life Diamond Members of the Champion's Roundtable, Larry and Brenda Potterfield have been recognized as donors who have made major contributions to the SSSF mission. They are also Charter Members of the SSSF Legacy Society, which honors donors who have included SSSF in their estate plans through deferred gifts. About the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) The Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) is responsible for all aspects of the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP) across the United States. SCTP and SASP are youth development programs in which adult coaches and other volunteers use shooting sports to teach and to demonstrate sportsmanship, responsibility, honesty, ethics, integrity, teamwork, and other positive life skills. SCTP was developed as a program of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) until the SSSF was created in 2007 to operate the SCTP. In 2012, SSSF created the SASP and became the managing foundation of both programs.
