Guardian Wear American Hero Foundation

At its core, Guardian Wear is firmly rooted upon its steadfast gratitude to the Hero community and their unwavering commitment to safety, service, and protection. In honor of our fallen heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice, we have established the Guardian Wear American Hero Foundation. We are committed to donating $1 for each Guardian Wear product sold to this foundation. This non-profit foundation provides monetary gifts each year to selected families.

Our board of directors includes representatives from our hero communities of Police, Fire, Military, and EMS. They are responsible for coordinating annual nominations and overseeing the selection process.

Guardian Wear has recognized a fallen hero each year since 2002. Please visit our ‘Heroes Remembered’ page for more information.
