MDT GIVES: LANTERN RESCUE AUCTION

MDT GIVES: LANTERN RESCUE AUCTION

At MDT, our responsibility goes beyond developing precision rifle equipment. We are part of a community that values integrity, service, and standing up for those who cannot stand for themselves. With that in mind, we are proud to introduce MDT Gives, a long-term initiative dedicated to supporting organizations that bring hope, protection, and justice to those in need. Our first project under MDT Gives is the Lantern Rescue Charity Auction, supporting an organization doing extraordinary work in the fight against human trafficking.

ABOUT LANTERN RESCUE

Lantern Rescue is made up of professionals who work on the front lines of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Their teams include investigators, lawyers, and former military personnel who partner with local law enforcement—both in the U.S. and abroad—to rescue victims and bring offenders to justice. Unlike many organizations, Lantern Rescue goes far beyond awareness. They conduct direct rescue operations, provide training, assist in investigations, and support prosecutions. Their work takes them into some of the darkest and most dangerous environments in the world, and they go there with one purpose: to protect the vulnerable.

SPECIAL EDITION LANTERN RESCUE CHASSIS

To support Lantern Rescue’s mission, MDT has created ten special edition rifle chassis with the Lantern Rescue logo. These chassis symbolize strength, hope, and the courage required for the work Lantern Rescue does every day. Each of these limited-edition chassis will be auctioned off, with 100% of all proceeds going directly to Lantern Rescue. Beyond raising money, we hope these rifles spark conversations. When someone sees one and asks, “What’s Lantern Rescue?” it opens the door to greater awareness and support.

WHY WE STARTED MDT GIVES

MDT Gives is our promise to use our platform to help make a difference. Our products serve a community that values responsibility and doing the right thing—and we want our actions as a company to reflect that.

Through MDT Gives, we will continue to support organizations that:

  • Protect the vulnerable

  • Stand against injustice

  • Provide meaningful, real-world impact

  • Bring light to dark places

This program is just the beginning, and we look forward to expanding it in the months and years ahead.

MOVING FORWARD

The Lantern Rescue Auction marks the start of MDT Gives, but not the end of our commitment. We are dedicated to using our resources, visibility, and community to uplift those who are doing courageous, life-changing work. Thank you for supporting MDT Gives and helping us bring attention and assistance to organizations like Lantern Rescue. Together, we can help shine a light where it’s needed most.
