QUARTERLY IMPACT
COL NICK NICHOLS
PRESIDENT OF FOLDS OF HONOR
MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP STEWARDSHIP
As we reflect on the fourth quarter of 2025, I want to take a moment to thank you for the role you played in closing out the year and supporting our mission. The final quarter of the year is always significant for Folds of Honor. It is a season when many people pause, take stock of what matters most, and choose to give in ways that reflect their values. This past giving season stood out. Support from donors across the country helped make the fourth quarter one of the most impactful periods in our history, marked by a record level of generosity.
Moments like these are reminders of what makes our mission strong. It is not one effort or one season, but a steady commitment from people who understand the weight of sacrifice and believe in honoring it through opportunity. We do not take that commitment lightly. Every decision we make is guided by the responsibility to honor the families we serve and the supporters who make it possible.
In 2026, we are focusing on trade and skill school initiatives, partnerships with educational foundations, and honoring and celebrating America’s 250th. As we begin this year, we do so with gratitude. The need remains real, and so does the responsibility. With your continued support, we will keep moving forward, honoring the service of our nation’s heroes by investing in the futures they hoped for their families.
Thank you for standing with Folds of Honor and for closing out the year with purpose.
Col Nick Nichols President | Folds of Honor

IMPACT STORY
Lucas Clark has always been drawn to things he can hold, shape, fix, or rebuild. Mechanical engineering at California State University felt like the natural extension of a childhood spent with curiosity in his bones and tools in his hands. If something could be taken apart, Lucas wanted to understand it.
That instinct to learn and teach led him to run a car club in Sacramento that grew to more than 1,200 members. Young men came to tinker and ask questions, and Lucas met them with patience and pride. For him, cars are a way to connect, build confidence, and pass on something meaningful.
Maybe that’s because cars are one of the few things that make Lucas feel close to the father he never really got to know.
United States Army Sergeant Michael Clark enlisted to serve his country and provide for his family. When Lucas was very young, while on deployment, Sgt. Clark made the ultimate sacrifice. Lucas has only stories, photos, and the unwavering devotion of his mother and grandmother, who have spent his life keeping his father’s memory alive.
They tell Lucas he inherited his dad’s spark. The same curiosity, the same drive to help others, the same love for cars. Lucas laughs when he says, “My mom and grandma always say we have the same bug that caused us to own 9 cars by the time we were 20.” Beneath the humor is a quiet pride and a deep sense of connection.
Today, as he studies engineering and mentors others, Lucas sees his journey as both his own and part of something bigger. Every engine rebuilt and every bit of knowledge shared is a way he honors the man Sgt. Michael Clark was. His story is shaped by sacrifice, strengthened by family, and fueled by the passion he shares with the father he never got to grow up with.
Your support helps make that story possible. A testament to resilience, purpose, and the enduring impact of a hero’s sacrifice.

TOP GUN DONORS
These are Folds of Honor donors who fully funded at least one scholarship in the fourth quarter of 2025. Because of their generosity, a qualified applicant will breathe a sigh of relief when it is time to pay for college or trade school this fall. Each name on the Wall of Honor represents a student and family whose sacrifice is honored and met with hope.
We also extend our immense gratitude to the donors who gave at this level but chose to do so privately, or donated at a Folds of Honor event.

TOTAL Q4 DONATIONS
This quarter has been a powerful reminder of what happens when Americans choose to stand with one another. Because of the generosity and steady commitment of our Wingman community, over $706,000 was raised in Q4, supporting 142 scholarships for families who deserve every opportunity to thrive.
The Wingman community reflects the very DNA of Folds of Honor: loyalty, shared purpose, and a commitment to lift others when it matters most. It honors the leadership and teamwork that have shaped our mission from the beginning, and continues to guide us as we serve those who sacrificed for our freedoms.
