Usa Shooting Path To Podium Lede

For 30 years, USA Shooting has been the National Governing Body for the international shooting sports in the United States. Today, we've just learned that the organization is helping to invest in future champions with its new "Chairman's Path to Podium Fund." This powerful new initiative is designed to reward those who rise to meet the moment. 

The new fund was launched at the recent USA Shooting Shotgun National Team Championship, offering cash awards to the top three finishers in the Men’s and Women’s Skeet and Trap finals. Created through the bold vision of USA Shooting Chairman Tim Rupli, the Path to Podium Fund is more than a one-time prize—it’s a challenge to our community: Are you ready to fuel the next generation of champions?

“Excellence doesn’t happen by accident—it happens when talent meets opportunity,” remarked Tim Rupli, Chairman of USA Shooting. “This fund is about rewarding those who deliver under pressure and challenging others to step up and support the pursuit of greatness. If we want to see more American champions on top of the podium in LA 2028, we have to invest in them now.”

USA Shooting now invites individuals, families, and partners who believe in America’s Olympic dream to join the movement. Whether through direct gifts, legacy naming opportunities, or event-specific podium sponsorships, this fund creates a clear path for donors who want to turn passion into performance. To learn more or become a founding contributor to the Chairman’s Path to Podium Fund, visit the webpage here.
