UFC Legend Randy Couture Gives $50,000 to Wounded Soldiers


(Las Vegas, NV January 29, 2010) Randy Couture Continues to be a class act both in and out of the Octagon.  This time Couture gives almost $50,000 worth of supplements to  America’s Hero’s Wounded In Action.

Perhaps the most recognized name in mixed martial arts (MMA) and true role model to those in the sport,  Couture continues to lead by example.  Couture, has shown to be an inspiration to the masses outside of MMA as well.  Excelling in almost anything he has ever done, from wrestling, to MMA, to acting, Couture always gives back, and most of the time people will never hear about it because he does it for the cause not the publicity..

International Journalism Review (IJR) commends Randy Couture’s most recent donation to the  Walter Reed Medical Center to help America’s wounded soldiers. Couture donated $49,278.93 worth of supplements (now known as XCAP) to help aid in their rehabilitation and recovery.

Couture told us, “You’d be surprised how physically fit and how much physical rigor that goes into rehab for these guys. Getting fitted for prosthetics, learning to walk, learning to do a lot of things that we all take for granted.  I’m fortunate to be in a position to help them in their recovery”

Randy Couture served 6 years in the US Army before his incredible and ongoing career in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).  Coming off a seemingly easy win over top ranked Brandon Vera at the age of 46 is just another notch on Couture’s belt of life.

In 2007 Randy Couture formed a non profit organization called Xtreme Couture GI Foundation to raise money and increase awareness for those wounded in action and their families.

This past December Randy made a visit out to Walter Reed where he had the privilege of meeting many of the injured troops and while on his trip Couture donated $100,000 in cash that had been raised through the GI Foundation to 10 families in need.

For more information on his non-profit organization and or would like to donate to his foundation for this great cause please visit www.xtremecouturegifoundation.org.

The Xtreme Couture G.I. Foundation together with O School Choppers hosted a Motorcycle Poker Run last weekend to help raise money for wounded soldiers and their families. The event started in the early hours of Saturday and ran all the way till the evening when everyone relaxed, ate some BBQ, and won some prizes from the raffle. This ride was the first of what will become an annual event held with the guys from O School and us here at Xtreme Couture.

The riders started off at Xtreme Couture then began the 150 mile run that took us everywhere from Pioneer Saloon way out in Good Springs all the way back to Mr. Dee’s, stopping at O School Choppers and the Moutain Springs Saloon along the way.

Here are some pictures from throughout the day. It goes without saying everyone enjoyed themselves and I personally look forward to next year, where the ride will surely be bigger and better then ever!

Last Thursday the Xtreme Couture G.I. Foundation hosted its first Charity Golf Tournament at Rhodes Ranch golf course here in Las Vegas, NV. The event was designed to raise money and awareness for wounded U.S. soldiers. Everyone that attended, including the many celebrities, were very giving to the cause in both support and donations. We were overwhelmed with the turn out and want to extend our thanks to everyone that made this event such a huge success!

Below are some great pictures of the event, some of the group shots we took, and some shots of our raffle winners. Everyone had fun at the event, including all of us that help put it on!

Randy Speaks At Military Homecoming Ball!

Posted: November 20, 2007 by Xtreme Couture MMA in Uncategorized, xtreme couture GI Foundation

 

In early April Xtreme Couture was contacted to see if Randy would be willing to attend a military homecoming ball for soldiers returning from Iraq. The coordinator, an active duty wife, mentioned how Randy had taken the time to visit the guys in Iraq last summer “To this day, we still hear stories about his visit from our husbands. Our husbands are huge “Randy” fans but believe it or not, we have some very hard-core “Randy” fans in our wives as well. ” The men and women served a total of 15-16 months and were returning home late October. The huge celebration was for their return. “We continue to live ordinary lives at home while they put ordinary aside for extraordinary! This will also be the first occasion our battalion has to collectively say farewell to our fallen soldiers.”

“It was truly an honor to be part of the welcoming home ball for the 2/3 infantry patriots and the striker battalion. What a great pleasure to meet the soldiers and their families. Their enthusiasm and patriotism continues to impress me. Both my wife and myself look forward to new ways to support the troops.” ~Randy Couture

The party was filled with enthusiasm as Randy took the majority of the evening mingling with the soldiers, signing autographs and taking photos.
