This campaign is led by Kyler Ardoin and Sterling Automotive as part of their commitment to serving veterans and first responders in our community.

Kyler Ardoin received a service dog from American Warrior Initiative in January, and now he's paying it forward. As a veteran himself, he's seen firsthand what AWI does for warriors who've carried heavy loads home. Sterling Ford Outpost is his way of bringing that mission into his own community in Opelousas, Louisiana.

Sterling Ford employs a lot of veterans, and South Louisiana is full of them. There's nothing like AWI in the area. This Outpost exists to change that. Every dollar raised here goes toward providing service dogs to veterans and first responders who need them, the same kind of support that's already changed Kyler's life.

Veteran-friendly employer. Veteran-led mission. Local action where it matters most.

All donations are securely processed and stewarded by American Warrior Initiative, a nationally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides life-changing service dogs to veterans.

Welcome to your local Outpost of the American Warrior Initiative (AWI).

You have just joined a grassroots team of civilians and veterans united by a singular mission: to bridge the military-civilian divide and serve those who’ve served us—veterans, first responders, and their families.

As part of an AWI outpost, together we take local action to create national impact. Our Outpost hosts fundraising events, builds connections with veteran organizations, and directly supports those in need right here in your home town.

What makes us unique? When we join together to hold fundraisers, every dollar we raise will go directly to helping veterans and first responders—most often through life-changing service dogs, emergency assistance, or customized support. Thanks to Fairway Independent Mortgage covering all administrative costs, 100% of public donations go where they’re needed most - directly to the hero in need.

You’re not just supporting a cause—you’re joining a mission.

Join us. Volunteer. Donate. Share. Together, we can serve those who’ve served us.
