Teamwork with heart
At the heart of Sport Clips’ culture is its values system, which was inspired by the same core values Coach Lou Holtz used to build championship football teams: "Do Your Best. Do What's Right. Treat Others the Way They Want to Be Treated.” Gordon and his family put these values to action in 2013 when they pledged to donate $1 million to Georgetown, Texas-area nonprofits, where Sport Clips, Inc. is based, and have been recognized for their philanthropic work with numerous programs including Habitat for Humanity, R.O.C.K. (Ride on Center for Kids), Field of Honor presented by Georgetown Rotary Club, and the Boys and Girls Club of Georgetown.
As a veteran, Gordon has also made it his mission to support the military. He has received the VFW’s famed “Citizenship Award”, and since 2007, Sport Clips stores across the nation have worked together to raise $10 Million for the VFW Foundation through its annual “Help A Hero” fundraiser, which has provided scholarships for nearly 2,200 veterans and active duty service men and women who are transitioning to civilian careers. Sport Clips, nationally and at the local-level, is also a proud supporter of the American Red Cross Blood Services, Dream Flights, St. Baldrick's Foundation, the Aleethia Foundation, Honor Flight Austin, Gratitude Initiative and others.
