The 2nd Annual Toys for Tots Combat Challenge Match was a huge success with over 180 people attending the event and over 300 toys donated to support this charitable cause. For the second year in a row, we presented the largest shooting match of its kind in the country in support of the Toys for Tots Foundation.

Competition was fierce as we attracted shooters from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma and Wisconsin to compete in this years match.

Shooters competed for trophies in the Combat Challenge Match and also competed for donated firearms and prizes in the Revenge of the Pepper Poppers side match, Shotgun Run side match and Man vs. Man Steel Challenge side match.

We had 70 sponsors make contributions to this year’s event and I’d like to thank all of these sponsors for their support. These sponsors played a critical role in supporting the event logistically and have donated over 150 prizes, which included 11 firearms, for the side match and raffle tables valued at over $ 15,000.00!

Without the support of these sponsors, this event would not have been possible. Please make an effort to contact these sponsors, which are listed in the left side bar of this page, and thank them for the generous contributions they have made.

I’d like to personally thank everyone that participated in this year’s match and all those who contributed to support the Toys for Tots Foundation toy drive. I’d also like to thank the United States Marine Corps Reserves for working with us to help make this event possible as well as the Harvey Police Department for hosting the event at the Harvey Police Department Range.

I’d especially like to thank my family, friends, co-workers, members of the North Suburban Police Pistol League and Spartan Tactical Training Group staff instructors who unselfishly donated their time to work the all-volunteer event staff, and add the personal touch and unwavering commitment that was needed to make this high energy event a success!

On behalf of the Toys for Tots Foundation and the United States Marine Corps, thank you for supporting this years event and we look forward to seeing you at the 3rd Annual Toys for Tots Combat Challenge Match next year!

Have a wonderful Christmas holiday season! Stay sharp and train safe.

Respectfully,

John Krupa III
