#PrayersForPreslie

Recently TFB reported that Henry Repeating Arms had launched a fundraising initiative to help the family of Preslie Mantsch, a Michigan child who was diagnosed with Leukemia earlier this year. They had produced 65 special edition .22 Golden Boy rifles with PRESLIE01 to PRESLIE65 serial numbers, and a “Prayers for Preslie” logo on the stock. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the direct sale of 63 of the rifles, as well as Gunbroker auctions for the final two, were to be donated to the Mantsch family to assist with the cost of Preslie’s cancer treatment. This “ Guns for Great Causes” campaign has been completed, with the sale of all Preslie firearms and the end of the two auctions. Direct sales accounted for more than $38,000 raised, and the auctions for the first and last serials fetched another $8,600. Henry has issued the following press release about this heart-warming effort.

The Henry Repeating Arms Company has announced that they’ll be donating 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of 65 rifles to help a 3 year old Michigan girl that’s been diagnosed with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia.  As of the time of publishing, 63 of the rifles have already been sold, and the remaining two rifles are up for auction on Gunbroker.com.  The campaign has been dubbed “Prayers for Preslie”, and the donated rifles reflect the campaign name on the stock and in the serial numbers.
