Give Will

WHAT WE CARRY FORWARD

We launched Give Will with a simple belief: Every young person deserves something built to last.

Since 2012, we’ve donated over 30,000 backpacks to youth across the country - in public schools from Detroit to Portland. Each bag is more than just a gift. It is a symbol of care, belonging, and belief in the future.

Now, in 2025, we’re proud to relaunch our Give Will mission - starting with a donation to Comanche Academy, a Native-led charter school in Lawton, Oklahoma, focused on education, cultural identity, and language revitalization.

For 2025 Giving Tuesday, we’re honored to donate 100 handcrafted backpacks to students at Comanche Academy, in partnership with Principal Shannon Sfoye and the school’s leadership. Together, we hope to celebrate and support their values, traditions, and vision for the next generation.

This Give Will initiative is further inspired by Janee’ Kassanavoid - a two-time world medalist in the hammer throw and a proud member of the Comanche Nation. Her story embodies the strength, pride, and limitless potential we hope to inspire in every student we serve.

Each Give Will backpack features:

· Our signature leather patch
· An enclosed “My Dream Is…” card for each child
· The same craft and care that defines every Will Leather Goods product

Not just bags - they’re beginnings. A Bag to Carry Your Dreams.

And we’re just getting started. In the months ahead, we’ll contribute in Fort Worth, Portland, Eugene, and Los Angeles - pairing donations with hands-on maker workshops, mentorship, and storytelling that benefits the communities we serve.

“We don’t just make leather products. We build thoughtful quality goods that carry people forward.” - Will Adler, Founder
