Celebrating a Decade of Support
By GovX – JANUARY 10, 2025
2025 serves as a major milestone for all of us here at GOVX, as it marks the 10th anniversary of the advent of the GOVX Gives Back Initiative. What started as an idea to better connect with the GOVX community, bring awareness to important causes, and do some good, has evolved over time into something even greater.
Today, we proudly point towards the incredible generosity of the GOVX community and brand partners, who’ve stepped up time and time again in support of recipients both old and new.
In addition to donating a portion of the proceeds from every order made on GOVX.com to that month’s GOVX Gives Back recipient, we’ve switched things up by successfully deploying a series of donation-driven contests that saw GOVX members hunting down deer in Montana with Michael Waddell and the Bone Collector Crew, rubbing elbows with MMA champ Stipe Miocic at the UFC Championship, and getting front and center for the floats alongside NYC's finest at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. These all serve as ways to get involved, support a cause, and give yourself an opportunity to win something epic. Be on the lookout for similar efforts in 2025.
Here’s the full list of Military and First Responder non-profits we’ve proudly supported:
Team GOVX and Sports San Diego present a check during halftime at The DIRECTV Holiday Bowl to the Navy SEAL Foundation. Over $36,000 was raised for the military non-profit.
GOVX members and U.S. Army Veteran Sadie Hook and her family take in the magic of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Through the contest, $11,600 was raised for the first responder non-profit.
Folds of Honor President, Col Nick Nichols addresses TEAM GOVX at our monthly all-hands meeting in August of 2024. Over $76,000 was raised for the foundation through two charitable campaign efforts.
GOVX presents a check for $25,000 at the PBR Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour Finals in Corpus Christi, TX. This was the culmination of a season-long campaign to donate $50 for every PBR Qualified Ride registered.
“The GOVX Gives Back initiative remains at the heart of everything we do,” said Alan Cole, GOVX CEO. “Ten years in, the mission continues to grow and the desire to support those who serve only deepens. It’s once again an honor to provide meaningful contributions and create a place where community can thrive.”
In addition to support from members far and wide, we have also been able to count on the support of the many generous brands that we partner with on GOVX. Over the years, we joined forces with the following to match our donations to non-profits serving our community:
