What on earth is a "gunfighter charity"?

from www.roadsideamerica.com:


Cody, Wyoming -
Daily Street Gunfights

The free gunfights occur Monday through Saturday nights (June 1 thru Sept 30) from 6 pm to about 6:30 pm in the street in front of the porch of the Irma Hotel in downtown Cody. Arrive early and get a free seat on the rock wall or picnic tables. Or rent a folding chair for $1 from the Cody Trolley Tours ticket booth on the porch of the Irma. They'll put your name on the chair so you can arrive 1 minute before the show and still get a front row seat. 200-400 people attend nightly and only 150 folding chairs are available. Half the proceeds go to gunfighter charities. [Mike Johnson, 03/25/2006]

Mind you, these are NOT REAL GUNS!

They are re-enacting times from the Old West. Cowboys and stuff.
