Crafting for a Cause: Walker Wood Gifts’ Contribution to the Shoot for Inclusion Event
At Walker Wood Gifts, every handcrafted display tells a story—one built with heart, precision, and purpose. This season, our work supports the Shoot for Inclusion Special Olympics charity event in Los Angeles, where our handcrafted shotgun displays will be raffled to raise funds for a meaningful cause.
About the Shoot for Inclusion Event
Shoot for Inclusion Event
Organized by Alvin, a renowned Firearms Instructor and Rangemaster with the Los Angeles School Police Department, this event is a fantastic opportunity to unite community supporters. His wife, Kristina, plays an active role in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics, representing the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on the LETR Southern California Council. Together, they celebrate inclusion and raise funds for Special Olympics athletes. To find out more, visit: shootforinclusion.org.
