Nashville-Based Coffee Company Partners with Tunnel to Towers Foundation

Crockett Coffee

The Nashville-based coffee company Crockett Coffee partnered with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation to donate a portion of its sales towards initiatives benefiting the families of fallen heroes, injured first responders, and veterans.

Crockett Coffee was founded by Clay Travis and Buck Sexton – hosts of the popular radio show The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, heard across 500 stations nationwide – and Buck’s entrepreneur brother, Mason Sexton.

The company announced it will donate 10 percent of its profits to support Tunnel to Towers, which honors American veterans by providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and by building specially adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.

The organization also provides homeless veterans housing assistance and support services through its Homeless Veterans Program.

“Tunnel to Towers is honored to partner with Clay and Buck on their latest venture together, Crockett Coffee,” Tunnel to Towers Chairman & CEO Frank Siller said in a statement.

Siller added, “We vowed that after September 11, 2001, we would never forget the sacrifice that our first responders made that day. It’s with support from businesses like Crockett Coffee and so many others that we can continue to help our heroes and their families. We are beyond grateful to continue our mission to do good!”

Buck Sexton said the company is “thrilled” to partner with Tunnel to Towers, adding, “Their dedication to supporting our military veterans and first responders deeply resonates with our values. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and show our gratitude to those who have sacrificed so much for our country.”

According to the company’s website, Crockett Coffee was created to “embody” Davy Crockett, the famous soldier and frontiersman from Tennessee who also served in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing the Volunteer State on and off during the 1820s and 1830s.

Tunnel to Towers, since its founding, has raised over $500 million and delivered over 1,200 mortgage-free homes to the families of American veterans.

In Tennessee, the organization is renovating a shuttered hotel in Memphis to turn it into a Veterans Village. The Village will provide independent living spaces and on-site comprehensive support services for over 100 homeless veterans.

    I was a supporter of T2T until they went from paying mortgages to providing “halfway houses” to homeless veterans. Not saying that is necessarily a bad thing but expanding the scope of the operation turned me off.
