Ariat Donates $100,000 to Support Homes for Wounded Warriors

SAN LEANDRO, Calif., Oct. 02, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Ariat, the leading performance Workwear, Western, and Equestrian brand, has announced a $100,000 contribution to Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors (JAH4WW), continuing its longstanding support for the nonprofit’s mission to provide custom, mortgage-free homes for combat-wounded veterans. This contribution comes as part of a campaign running through November 30, where Ariat customers can join the effort by rounding up their purchases at checkout on Ariat.com. All customer donations will benefit JAH4WW.

JAH4WW was founded by Pro Football Hall of Famer Jared Allen after a 2009 USO tour. Allen witnessed firsthand the sacrifice and resilience of service members and was inspired to help combat-wounded veterans. After returning home, he learned that many veterans were living in homes that could no longer accommodate their needs. More than 15 years later, JAH4WW continues to build custom homes to offer veterans greater accessibility and independence.

Marine Corps veteran Josh Wege is one of the veterans whose life has been transformed by JAH4WW. Wege enlisted in 2009 and later deployed to Afghanistan’s Helmand Province, where on October 4, 2009, an IED strike cost him both legs. JAH4WW partnered with Wege and his family to create a fully accessible home that supports the active life he refused to give up. Today, Wege snowboards, competes in adaptive sports, and serves as President of the Board for USA Patriots Softball.

Ariat customers can join the effort by rounding up their purchase at checkout on Ariat.com.
