It all started with an idea, like all great things do. An opportunity to stand with a growing community, understand the issues and various causes that mean something to those who serve, and create a greater connection by doing some much needed good, together. Over the last decade plus, the GOVX Gives Back initiative has evolved to include a legion of generous and charitable brands, ready and waiting to match monthly donations, supply gear and products, or collaborate on once-in-a-lifetime contests and all-expenses paid getaways.

This month, as we celebrated 14 years of GOVX, we also crossed the threshold of $2 MILLION in total donations raised. They say good things come in threes, but we’d like to think twos are really where it’s at.

At the heart of this milestone are members like you. Through your orders on GOVX.com, a portion of every purchase completed is made to a specific non-profit. It’s how you back your own and contribute to the overall mission. It’s the main driver of our donations, and as good a reason as any to say thank you for your support.

As mentioned before, the evolution of the GOVX Gives Back initiative has now seen the advent of donation-driven contests over the last few years. This series has included a guided fly-fishing trip on the majestic rivers of Sun Valley, Idaho, an all-inclusive trip to Madison Square Garden for the UFC Title Fight, and a 5-night Margaritaville at Sea cruise to Key West. These giveaways have all served as ways to get involved, support a cause, and win something that you won’t find anywhere else. Stayed glued to GOVX for more contests coming up soon.
