Exclusive firearm raffle planned for charity event

Posted

SK Guns, the nation’s only series-driven, limited-edition manufacturer of custom firearms, has announces its role as a Knockdown Sponsor for the upcoming St. Johns County Fight Night, scheduled for Feb. 26 at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre. This charitable boxing event features local first responders competing to support children of all abilities within the community.

As part of its sponsorship, SK Guns will raffle two exclusive non-retail SK Customs St. Augustine Colt 1911 pistols. These one-of-a-kind firearms showcase intricate engravings that pay homage to the rich history of St. Augustine. Proceeds from the raffle will benefit Diamond of Dreams for the Police Athletic League (PAL) and Special Olympics Florida, organizations dedicated to enhancing the lives of children with special needs and local athletes with intellectual disabilities. Anyone can participate in the raffle, and you do not need to be present to win.

“Supporting our community is at the heart of SK Guns' mission,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “We are honored to contribute to an event that not only showcases the dedication of our local heroes but also raises funds for such impactful causes.”

The main event will feature members of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, St. Johns County Fire Rescue and St. Augustine Fire Department competing in three-round boxing matches. Doors open at 5 p.m., with the first bell at 6 p.m.

Tickets are available now, with prices starting at $10.89. The raffle drawing for the SK Customs St. Augustine Colt 1911s will take place one week after the event. Winners must be of age to legally own a firearm, but do not need to be present to claim their prizes. To buy tickets or access more information, go to www.theamp.com.
