Global Sporting Safaris’ Katie Luthy of Sheridan, volunteered at the event and donated New Zealand and Argentina big game safaris.

“The Lander RMEF committee and volunteers are dedicated wildlife warriors! Year after year I’ve seen them raise big dollars for the RMEF, and this year was no different. In 2010 the three hunts I donated brought in over $7000 profit to this chapter. This year GSS helped the Lander RMEF raise over $3000 from our hunt donation program. That’s over $10,000 in two short years!”says Katie Luthy, Global Sporting Safaris consultant.
