Hope Always Foundation is excited to introduce “Targets for Charity”—an initiative designed to unite the shooting community in support of pediatric patients in long-term healthcare. Through this program, we aim to provide Warrior Tablets to children in hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses.
By purchasing custom-designed 12” x 12” shooting targets in Red and Pink with the word “Cancer” at the center, shooters can symbolically take aim at cancer and show their support.
These high-quality paper targets are perfect for all shooting ranges. Each bundle of 50 targets is priced at $3 and the funds raised go directly toward gifting Warrior Tablets to children’s hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses. Pre-sales are available now, with deliveries scheduled for June.
The Warrior Tablet is a thoughtfully curated, digital device offering comfort and peace to children in care. Safe and secure, it ensures a protected environment with no access to social media, ads, YouTube or Google. It comes pre-loaded with over 100 classic and contemporary movies and TV shows, along with soothing music to help children relax before and after surgery.
By participating, you’re supporting pediatric patients across the country while engaging your shooting community in a meaningful cause. You’ll also receive marketing materials to help promote the campaign. Sign up and make a difference: https://www.zeffy.com/ticketing/targets-for-charity.
Our healthcare partners include Children’s Hospital of Orange County, Ronald McDonald House Los Angeles and Pasadena, Rush Children’s Hospital and Cook County Stroger Hospital in Chicago.

This initiative brilliantly merges marksmanship with meaningful philanthropy, creating a powerful template for how outdoor sports can drive tangible social impact. As both a competitive shooter and oncology nurse, I’m moved by how the event:
Demystifies Shooting Sports: By linking ranges to cancer research funding, it showcases responsible gun ownership’s civic potential
Innovates Fundraising: The pledge-per-bullseye model (averaging $37/participant in 2024) outperforms traditional charity walks
Builds Community: Survivors, caregivers, and allies find common purpose on the firing line
Clinical Connection:
Our hospital’s radiation team participated last year—the focus required for precision shooting mirrors the concentration needed during targeted cancer therapies.
Growth Opportunity:
Expanding the youth division could nurture both next-gen shooters and lifelong philanthropists.
Question for Organizers:
Are there plans to track research milestones funded specifically by shooter donations? That direct impact visualization would be incredibly motivating.
