NORTHBROOK, Ill.– June 2, 2025 – Award-winning Gun Tote’n Mamas®, the leading provider of women’s protection solutions, is excited to announce the continuation of its longstanding sponsorship with Armed Women of America (AWA). Since AWA’s founding in 2013, GTM has proudly supported the organization and has consistently participated in every national event since.
“We are proud to stand alongside Armed Women of America,” said Claudia Chisholm, president of Gun Tote’n Mamas. “Going on 12 years, our unwavering partnership is rooted in the shared passion for empowering women, from their first steps in gun ownership through continued firearms education. We’re excited and committed to keep our .50 Caliber Level of supporting AWA’s mission and celebrating the strength and success of women in firearm safety and self-defense.”
AWA is a dynamic national organization dedicated to equipping women with the skills, education, and confidence necessary for personal protection. Through its partnership with GTM, AWA continues to expand its mission by offering specialized training, educational events, and community support tailored specifically for women.
As one of the largest non-profit women’s shooting organization in the United States, AWA provides a welcoming, inclusive environment that fosters responsible firearm ownership and helps women—especially those new to shooting—overcome fear and gain confidence through structured programs and local chapter engagement.
AWA’s impact is far-reaching. Its website is a trusted community and resource hub for women gun owners. In 2024, it attracted 43,000 active users, 236,000 page views, and nearly 69,000 sessions. Nearly all users are U.S.-based, and all traffic is 100% organic, driven by high-quality content—resulting in a highly engaged and trusting audience.
The organization supports nearly 5,000-chapter members across 42 states. Among them, 515 volunteer chapter leaders help organize over 2,000 local and regional events annually. This vibrant community offers clear return on investment through direct product feedback, knowledge sharing, and meaningful engagement across its network.
“At Armed Women of America, we believe in building strong partnerships that truly serve the women we represent. Gun Tote’n Mamas shares our passion for safety, empowerment, and practical solutions. Together, we’re not just offering products — we’re creating a culture of confidence and preparedness for women at every stage of their journey,” said Jan Ennenga, executive director of AWA.
GTM’s renewed support reflects its deep commitment to empowering women through functional and fashionable concealed carry solutions.
