INDIANAPOLIS  – Leaders in American manufacturing gathered on Friday, October 4, 2019, at the Indiana Convention Center for a special dinner to celebrate American veterans. The evening honored military heroes by acknowledging their contribution in building an infrastructure that supports the ‘Made in the USA’ economy. Wahl Clipper Corp., the 100-year-old company still headquartered in Sterling, Ill., proudly presented a $75,000 check to Wounded Warrior Project (WWP). The dinner was part of Made in America 2019, a four-day event where hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of attendees gathered for one common goal: to raise awareness and support for the economic, environmental and community impact of American manufacturing.

Bruce Kramer, Wahl senior vice president of North America Consumer Division, Wahl Clipper Corp., Steven Yde, Wahl vice president marketing North America Consumer Division and Phil Wahl, Wahl product manager and 4th generation family member, presented the check to retired Army Staff Sgt. Jeremiah Pauley, a WWP spokesperson. A highlight of the night was when Pauley spoke about his journey as a wounded veteran, and the impact Wahl’s donation will have on other veterans working to transition into civilian life.

“Since its inception, Wahl has been committed to continually improving its products and looking forward to future possibilities,” said Yde. “That’s why we’re so honored to support a forward-thinking organization like Wounded Warrior Project. Their efforts are helping the brave men and women of our military build toward a bright future.”

In addition to honoring WWP with a $75,000 donation, Wahl offered attendees a truly interactive experience with free beard trims at their giant 30-foot mobile barbershop. Men with exceptional facial hair also stopped by the barbershop for a chance to win the Wahl Man of the Year Contest.
