Spartan Imports Black Site Raffle: Results Are In

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Remember the Spartan Imports raffle we mentioned from SHOT? It apparently went pretty well, and Tactical Fanboy has the results, as well as pictures of the airsoft weapons painted and equipped to mirror what Dalton Fury carried on the ground after 9/11 (which several members of the team went by and signed at SHOT). Nice work for a nice cause, Spartan Imports and Elite Defense. A Soldier Systems Flunky is almost finished with Black Site, by the way, more on that soon. Check it out on Tactical Fanboy.

Weapons and books from the Spartan Imports, Elite Defense BLACK SITE raffle.

Last night, an industry party sponsored by Elite Defense, FirstSpear, Insight Technologies, Smith Optics Elite Division, and Magnum raised funds for Higher Ground (a program of Sun Valley Adaptive Sports). Higher Ground provides a multidisciplinary approach to the long-term healing, restoration, and rehabilitation of wounded veterans with TBI/PTSD

The event was attended by many industry professionals along with members of the profession of arms. They were treated to hors d’oeuvres and there was much catching up amongst old friends.

A sumptuous raffle prize table was overflowing with highly sought after tactical products from a variety of vendors. At the end of the night, there were a lot of pleased revelers.

Except us, we didn’t win anything. But that SMG Lee did. He won two prizes. If you know where he lives, you know what to do…say, “Congrats!”
