Miami, Florida – Kalashnikov-USA (KUSA) Competitor Cedric Jean-Baptiste joined 400 other participants in the inaugural MIA Runway 5K Airport Series on Saturday, March 19, at Miami-Opa locka Executive Airport (OPF) to make strides against breast cancer. The proceeds from registrations and sponsorships for the series, which totaled $17,500, will benefit the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign.
“I’m grateful to Kalashnikov-USA for sponsoring me as a runner in this 5K event and donating funds to raise awareness about breast cancer and help with treatment and recovery” said Jean-Baptiste (the_rhundown), a 37-year old racing enthusiast and security manager at a resort hotel. “I’m looking forward to representing the company at other charitable race events in South Florida as a way to giving back to our community” he added.
Kalashnikov-USA is increasingly active with a variety of worthy causes. Recently, the company donated an emotional-support service dog, as well as training and supplies, to a Marine Corps veteran. Under the banner of “Kalashnikov-USA Cares” the company plans to continue increasing its charitable endeavors through monthly events such as fundraising races, walks and other activities that benefit our community, especially our veterans.
“Kalashnikov-USA is a growing employer in South Florida. Our skilled workers live and work and raise their children here. It is only natural that we support those organizations that are working to improve the welfare of our employees, our neighbors and our fellow citizens” said David Garretson, VP of Marketing for the company. “We look forward to supporting Cedric in future charity races as well as assisting other noteworthy causes, especially those that benefit individuals dealing with difficult challenges” he added.
ANOKA, Minnesota – March 22, 2022 – In continuing support of Ukraine, Federal Ammunition will be selling a t-shirt benefiting crisis relief efforts in the war-torn country. This follows the announcement that Federal, along with sister ammunition brands CCI, Speer, and Remington, would be donating a total of one million rounds to the Ukraine armed forces.

ATN demonstrates solidarity with the Ukrainian people with generous donations. ATN efforts on the ground in Bulgaria are now moving much-needed shipments of humanitarian and defensive supplies through Ukraine’s border into fighting zones.
Doral, Fla. (March 2022) – ATN, Corp., an industry leader of innovative optics for civilian, law enforcement, and the military, announce it has opened a site on the ATN website for direct donations to help the Ukrainian people receive humanitarian supplies and equipment for their fighting forces against the unjust actions of the Russian tyrant, Putin, and his forces.
Marc Vayn, founder of ATN, was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, and grew up in the United States where he started the optics company in 1995. ATN has offices across the United States, as well as in Odessa and Kiev, Ukraine. Before the outbreak of the war, the ATN team worked tirelessly to move Ukrainian staff members and their families to offices in Bulgaria or a safe place within their home country. Several ATN staff members refused to be moved and have taken up the fight against the Russian aggressor.
“I am an American citizen first, but of Ukrainian blood and spirit,” Vayn said. “It is imperative that as a united front, the democratic peoples of the world push back against this despot, Putin, and all he represents.”
James Munn, co-founder of the American-based ATN, Corp. and CEO added, “As a US Army veteran, I know how critical, time-wise, it is to get the necessary supplies to the front lines in order to repel the enemy. That is why we set up a donation site directly on our page. Your donation happens immediately, goes to the source immediately, and will end up helping Ukrainian forces immediately. Not next week, not next month. Now.”
With supplies desperately needed, the ATN team, spearheaded by Vayn and ATN CEO, James Munn, has started a donation page on the ATN website that allows good citizens to donate money that will go directly and immediately to ATN teams and volunteers in Bulgaria. ATN teams in Bulgaria and on the border of Ukraine have coordinated logistics to move defensive supplies directly to the fighting forces. Unlike other donation sites, the ATN Ukraine relief donation site is processed immediately so that ATN team members overseas can take action literally within 24-hours.
Upon the launch of the ATN Ukraine donation site, Vayn donated $100,000 of his personal money to the cause. Current donations are now at $128K and growing. Donations can be made by credit card or PayPal. Visit www.atncorp.com/ukraine to donate to this urgent cause.
