2025 Mission of Impact: Supporting Gold Star Families
In 2025, every Coin of Resilience purchased will serve a purpose far greater than the symbol itself. All proceeds this year will be donated to the Woody Williams Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to honoring, recognizing, and serving Gold Star Families across the nation. Their mission is simple, yet sacred: to ensure that the sacrifice of those who never came home is never forgotten, and the families they left behind are never left alone. And that mission aligns perfectly with the very reason this coin was created.
​
This is Personal: For over five years, I’ve had the honor of standing beside Gold Star Families. Listening to their stories. Shaking their hands. Looking into their eyes. And in every conversation, I saw something that never fades: pain wrapped in pride, love, and sorrow held together by strength. I’ve heard hundreds of stories. Stories that don’t make the evening news. Stories of sons, daughters, fathers, and mothers who gave everything. And of the families left behind, trying to make sense of what life looks like without them. I’ve watched Gold Star Mothers cling to photographs, carry folded flags, and sit quietly at events, hoping someone remembers.
