Colt Introduces the Safety Impact Award to Champion Responsible Firearm Ownership

Colt’s Manufacturing Company, a leader in the firearms industry for over 175 years, is proud to announce the launch of the inaugural Safety Impact Award, an innovative initiative designed to promote safe and responsible firearm ownership. Through this new platform, Colt is recognizing non-profit organizations making significant strides in firearm safety and education, while encouraging community involvement to amplify their impact.

To bring this vision to life, Colt has teamed up with four former professional football players who are lending their voices to champion firearm safety and represent impactful non-profit organizations. These ambassadors, known for their excellence on the field, are now stepping into a new arena to support causes close to their hearts:

  • Clay Matthews is partnering with Project ChildSafe, a nationwide firearm safety program providing free safety kits and education to families, neighborhoods, and law enforcement agencies.
  • Adam Vinatieri is backing Clays for Charity, an annual event that merges outdoor recreation with philanthropy, raising funds for nonprofits focused on responsible gun ownership.
  • Joe Thomas is representing Ducks Unlimited, an organization dedicated to conserving wetlands and habitats vital for waterfowl and wildlife.
  • Fletcher Cox is working with the International Hunter Education Association, which equips hunting and shooting sports educators with resources to promote safe and ethical practices.

To kick off the Safety Impact Award, Colt has made an initial donation of $5,000 to each of these organizations, furthering their missions to educate communities and encourage responsible firearm use. Now, Colt is inviting fans to join in and help decide which organization will be the first to receive the Safety Impact Award.

How to Get Involved
From January 21 to January 31, 2025, fans can visit www.SafetyImpactAward.com to cast their vote for their favorite non-profit organization. For every vote submitted, Colt will contribute one dollar (up to $10,000) to the winning organization. The recipient of the inaugural Safety Impact Award will be announced on Monday, February 3, 2025.

As a thank-you for participating, all fans who vote will automatically be entered into Colt’s Big Game Safety Sweepstakes. If a safety occurs during the professional football championship game on Sunday, February 9, fans will have a chance to win a share of $100,000.
