The Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation in Oregon has been teaching important gun safety and marksmanship to youth for a decade. Radian Weapons recently made a generous donation to support the organization.
Last month Kids S.A.F.E. announced that Radian generously pledged to support the youth-oriented organization by donating a rifle. Derek LeBlanc, the president of Kids S.A.F.E. recently reached out to say the organization just received the rifle and is excited to put it to use in training young firearm enthusiasts.
“The Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting firearm safety education for children, families, and communities,” the Foundation’s about us page says. “Through structured training programs and community outreach, the Foundation emphasizes accident prevention, responsible behavior, and safe gun handling practices.”
In 2025, Radian partnered with the Foundation in supporting them and this latest donation is greatly appreciated by the organization.
The Foundation’s June 3 release states:
As part of this partnership, Radian Weapons has generously donated both a 10.5” Model 1 pistol and a 14.5” Model 1 rifle to support the Foundation’s ongoing mission of promoting safe, responsible firearm education for youth and families across Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. Known throughout the firearms industry for precision engineering, premium craftsmanship, and innovation, Radian Weapons has become an iconic Oregon brand with a reputation trusted by professionals, enthusiasts, and responsible firearm owners nationwide. The Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation says the partnership represents a major milestone for the organization as it continues expanding firearm safety education opportunities for young people.
Kids S.A.F.E. has celebrated many milestones over the years and here at Bearing Arms, we’re happy to cover their successes. Some of the great things we’ve seen the Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation do include bringing their message to Texas and Hawaii. In 2022, LeBlanc and his team taught a blind youth about gun safety and how to shoot.
These milestones are not possible without the generous support of their many benefactors.
“We are incredibly excited and honored to partner with Radian Weapons,” Derek LeBlanc, the president of the Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation said. “Having the support of such an iconic Oregon manufacturer means a tremendous amount to our organization and the families we serve. Their commitment to quality and responsibility aligns perfectly with our mission to educate the next generation on safe firearm handling and ownership.”
“Radian Weapons is honored to support Kids S.A.F.E. and its important work promoting firearm safety and education,” Ryan Johnson, the marketing manager, of Radian Weapons said.”We firmly believe that preserving our Second Amendment rights goes hand in hand with fostering a culture of responsibility, training, and safe firearm handling.
“By investing in education and encouraging responsible gun ownership, we help ensure that future generations understand both the freedoms and responsibilities that come with those rights. We are proud to contribute to an organization that shares these values and is making a meaningful impact in communities across the country.”
The work that Kids S.A.F.E. continues to do is imperative to the preservation of the shooting sports and the Second Amendment. For more information about the Foundation, visit their website at KidsSafeFoundation.org
