Stag Arms partnered with Move America Forward (MAF), the nation’s largest grassroots pro-troop organization, during Troopathon 7, a star-studded effort to send care packages to troops in Afghanistan.

At the end of the fundraiser, MAF collected $301,626 to support the troops. The current total stands at more than $324,000 out of the goal of $350,000.

Stag Arms was on hand to announce the winner of a huge giveaway that helped promote Troopathon 7. To help support Troopathon and send more care packages to the troops, Stag Arms partnered with MAF to give away a free AR-15 style rifle valued at more than $900.

The winner, Wayne Dupree, an eight-year Air Force veteran who lives in Maryland, will be able to choose any one of three available models in left-handed or right-handed configuration.

“Winning this Stag Arms rifle during Troopathon 2014 was the cake on the table for me, but the icing was gathering social media together and giving them a way to make donations to my military brothers and sisters in the way of care packages,” Dupree said in a release.

“I was in the military for eight years, and I know first hand what a care package will do especially in times when you are lonely or homesick,” Dupree added. “It is a great honor to help them and win this rifle. While in the USAF, I was an expert with the M-16 and .38 so this is something I will treasure always.”

“Troopathon 7 – Care Packages for Our Heroes” was the seventh annual Troopathon event, an eight-hour long fundraiser bringing together pro-troop movie stars, TV personalities, elected officials, professional athletes, musicians, talk radio hosts and many other supporters to encourage viewers to sponsor care packages for U.S. troops serving overseas.
