About Xtreme Couture's GI Foundation
The Xtreme Couture GI Foundation, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit
corporation, was founded by Randy and Kim Couture to honor the
veterans of America's armed forces. The foundation was
especially formed to raise money and awareness for those wounded
in action and their families. To date, more than 24,000 U.S.
troops have been wounded in the war against terrorism, which
doesn’t include the many more suffering the mental effects.
Many of the injuries are traumatic amputations, gunshot wounds,
burns and blast injuries that will retire these brave men and
woman from the armed forces. Even though some of these men and
woman are severely injured, they have the courage, strength and
determination to win this battle.
The Xtreme Couture GI Foundation’s goal is to help these brave men
and women fulfill any of their unmet needs as they return back to
civilian life. For more information, visit
