ERLANGER, Ky. – Barrett Firearms raised $40,200 to benefit DAV (Disabled American Veterans) through a fundraising campaign celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.

As part of the campaign, Barrett Firearms created a limited-edition commemorative rifle series. From April 15 through July 31, participants had the opportunity to support DAV’s mission through the campaign.

The successful fundraising effort will help advance DAV’s mission of empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives through a range of no-cost programs.

“We’re immensely grateful to Barrett Firearms and everyone who participated in this campaign,” said Barry Jesinoski, national adjutant and CEO of DAV. “Their generosity will help us continue serving over one million veterans, their families, caregivers and survivors each year.”

“Barrett is proud to support DAV and its ongoing commitment to serving those who have served our nation,” said Bryan K. James, CEO of Barrett Firearms. “As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we are reminded that the freedoms we enjoy today were secured through the courage, service, and sacrifice of generations of these Americans. We recognize that service and are honored to help ensure that the commitment made to our veterans continues long after their time in uniform has ended.”
