The NRA Foundation is excited to announce its fundraising events at the upcoming 2025 Great American Outdoor Show (GAOS) in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, running from February 1st through 9th. The first fundraising event, however, kicks off a day earlier on Friday, January 31st, with the highly anticipated Sportsmen's Auction.
Following that, the Wall of Guns will be available for viewing and participation throughout the entire duration of the show, offering attendees the opportunity to support the NRA Foundation by purchasing a raffle ticket for a chance to win one of the featured firearms. These events are a key part of the Foundation’s efforts to raise critical funds for conservation, education, and the protection of our Second Amendment rights.
The NRA Foundation Sportsmen’s Banquet and Auction will take place on Friday, January 31st, serving as the exciting kickoff to the Great American Outdoor Show.

The NRA Foundation’s ever-popular Wall of Guns returns to the Great American Outdoor Show this year thanks to Weatherby, the official Wall of Guns sponsor. Located at booth 39 in the complex’s main hallway, the event will run each day of the show. At $10 a ticket, a winner is drawn for every 100 tickets sold and may choose a firearm from more than 40 different makes and models displayed on “The Wall.” There are several different ticket packages, ranging from $10 to $1,000, some of which include a limited-edition Wall of Guns t-shirt, donated by Nine Line Apparel. All net proceeds from the Wall of Guns will benefit The NRA Foundation, the country’s leading charitable organization in support of the shooting sports.
In February 2024, more than 180 winners walked away with their chosen firearm from the Wall of Guns. With over 40 models to choose from, popular selections included the Henry Golden Boy .22LR with NRA Logo, the Taurus 1911™ .45ACP Mil Spec OD Green with NRA Grips, the Weatherby Element Bottomland OG 12GA, and the Kimber K6xs .38SPL.
The Great American Outdoor Show celebrates the cherished outdoor traditions of millions of Americans and their families. Spanning 650,000 square feet, the event showcases over 1,000 exhibitors, including top shooting manufacturers, outfitters, boat and RV dealers, hunting and fishing retailers, and much more.
