Florida Alert: YETI Drops NRA Foundation
Saturday, April 21, 2018

DATE: April 20, 2018
TO: USF & NRA Member and Friends
FROM: Marion P. Hammer
USF Executive Director
NRA Past President


For years YETI Coolers have been a hot item for sportsmen at the Friends of NRA Foundation Banquet and Auction events around the country.

These Foundation events raise money to support youth programs and educational programs nationwide. The youth of America who benefit from these programs are the future hunters, hikers, fishermen/women, bikers, campers, wildlife photographers, mountain climbers, sportsmen/women and conservationists who will protect our natural resources and recreational lands.

Suddenly, without prior notice, YETI has declined to do business with The NRA Foundation saying they no longer wish to be an NRA vendor, and refused to say why. They will only say they will no longer sell products to The NRA Foundation. That certainly isn't sportsmanlike. In fact, YETI should be ashamed. They have declined to continue helping America's young people enjoy outdoor recreational activities. These activities enable them to appreciate America and enjoy our natural resources with wholesome and healthy
outdoor recreational and educational programs.

The NRA Foundation is 501(c)(3) non-profit, charitable organization.

In this day and age, information is power. We thought you needed this information.

Up yours Yeti!

I cannot put my finger on it, but for some reason I don’t think that this will play too well with the NRA crowd. I might be wrong though.

Walmart sells their 20 ounce and 30 ounce cups like the yeti for 1/3rd of the price, and they keep the ice from melting just as long.

Wonder how various sporting goods outlets will handle this, like Bass Pro/Cabela, Academy, Sports World in Tulsa, etc. Most handle an extensive piece of the Yeti line.

Maybe they figure the Sierra club types will keep them in business, seeing how they're going to lose a big chunk of the outdoor sportsmen crowd (I hope).

Yeti sucks. Over priced.
