The 10th Annual NRA-ILA Dinner and Auction, presented by Kimber, will take place this year in the Grand Ballroom of the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Ky., on Friday, May 20, at 6 p.m. This highly anticipated event, which attracts celebrities, industry executives and a host of Second Amendment supporters from around the country, provides direct support for NRA’s legislative, legal and political efforts.

This year’s event will feature some impressive, one-of-a-kind items made and donated just for the auction, including engraved firearms, suppressors, knives, fine art, hunts, optics and trips across the globe. The featured item in the live auction is a custom Orange County Choppers trike, which has been donated by Pell Industrial. Truly a showpiece that would make anyone in Sturgis jealous, this trike even comes with a leather scabbard housing a matching Henry Big Boy Rifle in .44 Magnum, finished by Baron Engraving. It’s available for auction in advance of NRA Annual Meetings. Interested parties may bid through gunbroker.com or in person as the auction will close live at the NRA-ILA Dinner.

Tickets to the event are $500 for an individual and $5,000 for a table. Contact Wendy Martin to purchase tickets at [email protected] or 703-267-1229. With limited tickets available, this event is expected to sell out.
