By casting a vote, fans will be automatically entered into Colt’s “Big Game Safety Sweepstakes,” where if a “safety” occurs in the pro football championship game on Sunday, February 9th, ten (10) lucky winners will win a portion of the $100,000 prize pool from Credova.
Sweepstakes closes on Sunday, February 9th at 6:30pm EST.
In a groundbreaking initiative, Colt enlisted football legends Clay Matthews, Adam Vinatieri, Joe Thomas and Fletcher Cox to help honor these non-profit organizations that exemplify an exceptional commitment to safety in the firearms industry.
The Colt “Safety Impact Award” recognizes their hard work and dedication in providing our communities with the education and resources to stay informed and safe.
Project ChildSafe is the nation’s most comprehensive firearm safety and education program that partners with law enforcement agencies around the country to provide free firearm safety kits and educational resources to help families, neighborhoods and communities store firearms safely and securely. They have distributed over 41,000,000 free gun locks, have 15,000 law enforcement agency partners and 13,000 thousand industry partners.
Clays for Charity is an annual event hosted by Adam. All proceeds raised are directed toward industry non-profit organizations with a strong emphasis on safe and responsible gun ownership including Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, Quail Forever, Ruffed Grouse Society and the National Wild Turkey Federation. The event brings together people of various backgrounds to enjoy a special day of sport shooting and other outdoor activities.
The International Hunter Education Association (IHEA) serves hunting and shooting sports educators by developing and implementing standards and resources based on research that promote safe, responsible and ethical practices. Their programs are employed by over 45,000 instructors and certify an average of 500,000 students per year. Since 1949, nearly 40 million students have completed their hunter education courses that cover firearm safety, responsible hunting and much more.
Ducks Unlimited was founded by hunter-conservationists in 1937 and is an organization dedicated to conserving wetlands and associated habitats for waterfowl and other wildlife. Ducks Unlimited supports the right to bear arms and believes that with that right comes a responsibility to use firearms lawfully and safely on every hunt.
Colt is a well-respected, storied American brand that has developed and manufactured innovative, reliable, and well-crafted products for over 170 years. Through initiatives like the “Safety Impact Award,” Colt continues its mission to empower the world with knowledge and tools prioritizing safe and responsible ownership.
