Six dedicated Saratoga County 4-H youth have earned the incredible honor of qualifying for the 2026 National 4-H Shooting Sports Competition in Grand Island, Nebraska. This event, taking place in June 2026, brings together the best young shooters from across the country to represent their states with pride, skill, and sportsmanship.

Saratoga County makes up more than half of the New York State team, a testament to the hard work, discipline, and dedication of these young competitors. Now, they have the chance to showcase their talent on a national stage — but they need your help to get there.

Funds raised will go directly toward essential expenses including ammunition, travel, lodging, and competition fees. These costs add up quickly, and with six youth representing our county, community support is more important than ever.

In addition to this campaign, the team will be holding multiple fundraisers throughout the year. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps bring them closer to their goal and ensures they can focus on competing, learning, and representing New York State to the best of their abilities.

Please consider supporting these remarkable youth as they take on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Together, we can help them make Saratoga County proud!
