Welcome to the June / 2024 edition of the Bear Creek Arsenal NEWSLETTER.
THANK YOU
We would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to all of our loyal customers who, at checkout, click ROUND UP to increase their order total to the next whole dollar. This increase becomes a donation to the BCA Foundation.
The BCA Foundation was created by the Moore Family, owners of Bear Creek Arsenal. Through their generosity, the Foundation is supporting the local community, law enforcement, first responders, educational institutions, and veteran/military organizations. All of the funds from the ROUND UP program go directly to support these groups.
A noteworthy example of support by the Round Up initiative is the Buddy Backpack Program offered in the Harnett County, N.C. school system. Students identified with potential food insecurity are given a backpack of food each Friday which is adequate for the weekend when they are away from school and cannot participate in free breakfast / lunch programs. Until now, the Buddy backpack program was not available during the summer break. Starting summer 2024, the BCA Foundation has now doubled its donation which enables the program to be continued throughout the entire summer. Over 500 students participate in this program.
The Round Up also supports law enforcement with donations from Bear Creek Arsenal. The equipment given to ten different departments/agencies includes: 123 Complete Rifles, 18 Upper Assemblies, Gift Cards, 45 Red-Dot Scopes and 25 sets of Iron Sights. Supplying the most up-to-date equipment enables these first responders to complete their mission in a safer and more efficient manner.
In addition to clicking ROUND UP at checkout, donations can be made in two other ways. The customer’s Bear Creek Arsenal account is set up to accept direct donations. Also, by visiting www.thebcafoundation.com, a donation can be made and the entirety of the scope of the Foundation can be viewed. As it says on the home page:
