Walk the Talk America (WTTA) continues to see support from across the firearm industry following a recent online fundraiser auction that raised $12,315 to support the organization's ongoing initiatives.
Hosted by Pot of Gold Estate Auctions, the online-only event featured items donated by companies and partners throughout the firearm industry. Proceeds will support WTTA's work focused on education, research, and practical solutions that align with responsible firearm ownership.
"The level of support from the industry continues to grow," said Michael Sodini, Founder and Executive Director of WTTA. "We're especially grateful to the companies that continue to step up and support this work, even in a more challenging market. That kind of commitment says a lot about where the industry is headed."
WTTA continues to expand partnerships with manufacturers, retailers, ranges, and industry leaders nationwide, working collaboratively to develop resources that resonate with gun owners while supporting mental health awareness.
These efforts include educational materials, survey-driven insights, and partnerships with initiatives such as The Armory Project, all designed to provide nuanced solutions to negative outcomes from firearms that respect 2A rights and can be implemented across the industry.
WTTA emphasizes voluntary, community-driven approaches that align with the values of responsible firearm ownership.
"As more companies get involved, we're seeing increased awareness and support around solutions that people will actually use," Sodini added.
For those that missed this auction, WTTA will have another one October 13th, 2026. For companies interested in contributing product, please contact us.
