Winchester Safes Supports Patriot Sporting Challenge at the Lake Fork Challenge

Winchester Safes is proud to support the 8th Annual Patriot Sporting Challenge with the donation of one of our most trusted models, the Bandit 19, to the event’s charity auction. Taking place Saturday, May 31, 2025, in East Texas, this unique event blends golf, casino games, and community spirit—all to honor our military and first responder heroes. 

The Patriot Sporting Challenge has grown into the largest annual charity event in East Texas, raising over $830,000 since its inception. Thanks to dedicated supporters like you, proceeds from this year’s event will directly benefit three incredible organizations:

  • Folds of Honor, which provides educational scholarships to the families of fallen or disabled military members.
  • Heroes Ranch, offering healing outdoor experiences to veterans and first responders.
  • Purple Heart Homes, delivering housing solutions to our wounded veterans. 

As a brand grounded in security, tradition, and service, Winchester Safes is proud to donate a Bandit 19 safe to the silent auction—helping raise vital funds and further the mission of giving back. 

“The Patriot Sporting Challenge embodies everything we believe in: community, service, and the great outdoors,” says Stevie Barefield, Marketing Director of Winchester Safes. “It’s an honor to support an event that unites people to uplift the lives of those who’ve given everything to keep us safe.” 

The 2025 Patriot Sporting Challenge promises a day of camaraderie, fun, and purpose, with golf at The Links at Lands End, casino games at the Neon Moon, and a live band to wrap up the night. More importantly, it’s a chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with fellow supporters—raising funds, spirits, and the hopes of the veterans and first responders who protect our way of life.
