The Tennessee Firearms Association Legislative Action Committee has scheduled its annual fundraising event for September 9, 2023.
Fund raising efforts are even more critical this year because we are anticipating substantial expenses to fight Bill Lee's Red Flag gun control agenda and his Special Session. When we do so, it will be important for 2024's election cycle that we work hard to build up that war chest and this is the event to do it!
This year, a single donor, one who has stood by TFALAC since we started, has already stepped up and already agreed to underwrite the estimated costs of the entire event – approximately $20,000! This means that almost every sponsorship, donation, vendor, table sale and ticket sale is going perhaps 100% to the “war chest” we need to elect the right 2nd Amendment stewards to the the Tennessee Legislature.
Admission starts at 9:00 AM CST
Event Activities start approximately 10:30 AM CST or shortly thereafter. Lunch will start as early as 11:00 AM CST.
TFALAC welcomes donations of auction items. TFALAC has a history of having a fine assortment of firearms and other items as part of its auction package but we also have had ammo, jewelry, gun safes, vacation trips, duck hunting packages, and even car wash coupons. If you or your business are interested in making a donation or providing auction items in exchange for promotional advertising, please get in touch with johnharris@tennesseefirearms.com soon.
