Railsformers & Shooters Bílovec
We have been involved in the sponsorship of the Bílovec Rifle Club from the beginning of its establishment, in 2017. Today, it has been three years since we have been contributing a regular amount of 10 000 CZK for the running, equipment or the club’s trips to tournaments. In addition to the financial support, we have also taken under our wing the administration of the website, which we have compiled ourselves and continuously update with new information.
Thanks to our help, for example, the children could go to the Czech Championship in Pilsen.
Why we sponsor the shooting club Bílovec
At Railsformers we are very well aware that active leisure time for children is very important in today’s technical age. Many of our employees themselves have families with children, and we try to motivate them to get away from the technological conveniences of the times and engage in activities that involve their physical shells.
For this reason, we see great purpose in supporting the Bílovec Shooting Club. Thanks to us, children have the opportunity to travel to nearby towns in the Czech Republic and take part in shooting events that would otherwise not be funded.
Major achievements of club members
We can see that our sponsorship makes sense in the results that individual club members achieve. Thanks to us, their efforts and training can be properly rewarded and they can enjoy the possibility of paid off-site stays.
Look at two members of the Bílovec Shooting Club who have done a great job in the past year and achieved a number of awards.
