Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Military & Veterans Organizations, Veterans

Mission: Our mission at Gloria's Joy Foundation is to provide custom made boots to United States Veterans who have been wounded in fighting for our great country and now require a prosthetic leg or foot. These boots are provided at no charge to these special vets, thanks to your donations and Olsen-Stelzer Boots. More than just a pair of boots, these custom measured and designed cowboy boots provide a personalized thank you, a "you matter", and a heartfelt "you are valued". Most of these warriors haven't been able to wear boots since they put on their combat boots the day of injury. The Legends of Western Swing Music Festival will continue to be the main event for this 501(c)3 Foundation, giving us a new path to providing healing and smiles to our wounded warriors.

Being the daughter of a veteran...a career USAF pilot, I am so impressed with the excellent work Gloria's Joy is doing with veterans. And what could be more all American than a foundation like Gloria's Joy supplying American Veterans with boots! It is my opinion that Gloria's Joy shows incredible heart, compassion and down home PATRIOTISM for our veterans who have served their country with such dedication and sacrifice. Thank you Gloria's Joy!

The mission of this foundation exemplifies the heart of Gloria Miers. She loved her country - her brother was killed in the war and is buried overseas - and she was proud that he died fighting for OUR freedoms. She also loved Western Swing Music. How proud she would be to know this foundation - created in her honor and memory - benefits the two. There is no greater feeling than to know that my donation helps provide boots for wounded veterans, and lets them know that our family appreciates the sacrifices they and their families have made for our great nation!

Gloria Miers held a special place in her heart for the men and women who serve and who have served to protect our freedom in this country. I proudly support Gloria's Joy Foundation and its mission to gift wounded veterans custom-made boots. I'm also proud to support The Legends of Western Swing Music Festival as the fundraiser for this organization; the joy that this music brings people is so contagious!

What a unique and amazing way to tell a veteran they're valued...they're appreciated and respected more than words can say! This gift is so much more than a pair of boots. Thank you, Gloria's Joy!

Gloria's joy for life and loving others was the best example, so Gloria's Joy Foundation does the same thing. This nonprofit goes to next step by providing US Veterans with a pair of cowboy boots, best used on the dance floor at Legends of Western Swing. The music that scoots your boots across the dance floor and brings joy to life. J Crake
