Las Vegas, Nev. (December 2024) – Walk the Talk America (WTTA), a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap between mental health and responsible firearm ownership, is honored to have received a generous donation of $25,000 from the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW). This donation will assist the WTTA’s important work in raising awareness and working to remove misunderstandings around mental health and firearms. WTTA’s work is critical to reducing gun violence, suicide, and the stress, anxiety, and broken lives that come from these situations.
“Mental health is a greatly misunderstood arena and the work that WTTA is doing to bring awareness empowers those who are struggling to get the help they need,” said NASGW Chairman Bill Sumner. “It also demonstrates to our industry and the broader community that the shooting sports industry cares as much or more than anyone about the health and well-being of American gun owners.”
“This generous donation from NASGW reflects a growing commitment within the shooting sports industry to address mental health with compassion and proactive solutions,” said Michael Sodini, WTTA Founder. “Their support amplifies our ability to reach more individuals with the resources and education needed to foster a culture where mental health is openly discussed and effectively supported within the firearms community. Together, we’re making strides to reduce stigma and promote safety for all.”
