EAST ALTON, IL — Winchester Ammunition announces its fourth consecutive pledge to the Folds of Honor Foundation, a $100,000 commitment that will help provide educational scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled service members of the U.S. armed forces. Since 2021, Winchester has contributed a total of $425,000 to Folds of Honor.
“Winchester has a long history in support of the U.S. military dating back to the early 1900s. We are honored to continue our contribution to Folds of Honor and help the families that are truly in need,” said Brett Flaugher, President of Winchester Ammunition.
Winchester introduced its USA VALOR® series of ammunition in 2021, which pays tribute to Folds of Honor, the U.S. military and first-responders. Since its launch, more than 200 million rounds of USA VALOR ammunition have been sold in boxes featuring the Folds of Honor logo in support of their mission.
Winchester remains steadfastly focused on our heritage of integrity, quality and reliability serving the U.S. Warfighter — in peace and in battle. You may learn more about our support of military and veteran causes at Winchester.com/USAValor.
