Apr 9, 2011/Sheridan, Wyoming/ – Global Sporting Safaris, Inc. (GSS) is pleased to announce that the Sheridan, WY, Chapter of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation’s Big Game banquet raised over $2,600 for wildlife and habitat conservation through our hunting trip donation program. Their annual dinner event was held at the Holiday Inn in Sheridan, Wyoming on April 9th, 2011. A group of dedicated volunteers and co-chairs, Renee Obermueller and Pat Thuesen, put together an outstanding event. Wyoming’s newest regional director, Ryan Kaiser, assisted the committee in preparation as well as the evening’s events.
Global Sporting Safaris’ Katie Luthy of Sheridan, donated a big game Argentina hunting safari for four hunters. A second bidder asked if they could purchase a safari as well. GSS is raising money for wildlife, so a second hunt was donated at that event.
“I’ve been a committee member for this chapter for three years. It’s very rewarding to offer these hunts to a chapter that I’ve been a part of personally. This is the second year I’ve donated hunts to my home-town RMEF chapter, and in those two years GSS has helped raise the Sheridan chapter almost $10,000. That’s a lot of money for elk country,”says Katie Luthy, Global Sporting Safaris consultant.
Global Sporting Safaris has already helped raise over $49,050 for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation in recent years. Hunt donations, though limited, are still available for other RMEF chapters across the nation.
“We have put together three high quality hunting donations that allows Global Sporting Safaris (GSS) to give back to the ‘not for profit’ organizations that help to promote our industry and our passion,” says Rick Kennerknecht, CEO of Global Sporting Safaris.
Global Sporting Safaris (GSS) makes theses donations available to 501c3, 501c4 or 501c6 organizations and there are a limited number of hunting trips available each year. The outfitters in this fundraising program offer 5-Star accommodations, excellent hunting areas, professional staff, exquisite local cuisine and trophy quality animals. We have personally visited each outfitter to assure quality and a positive experience for our clients. Details can be found at www.gssafaris.com/fundraising
At the conclusion of the fundraising event, a GSS hunting consultant will be assigned to each auction winner. Our consultants will work with each winner to ensure that everything goes smoothly both before and after the hunt.
