Advisors Excel Announces Historic $1.92 Million Donation to Folds of Honor at Orlando Event
Advisors Excel’s 2026 World Series of Success event culminated in a moment of extraordinary generosity and patriotism, announcing a donation of $1.92 million to Folds of Honor. This significant contribution took place during the premier training event in Orlando, Florida, marking a new milestone in the organization’s commitment to supporting the families of military members and first responders.
The $1.92 million raised will go directly toward Folds of Honor’s mission of providing educational scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service members.
“We are truly humbled and grateful to support Folds of Honor with this historic donation,” said Cody Foster, Co-Founder of Advisors Excel. “Every dollar raised represents our deep appreciation for the sacrifices made by America’s heroes, and it reinforces our commitment to ensuring their loved ones have access to the educational opportunities they deserve. This effort is a testament to the heart and generosity of everyone involved in the World Series of Success event.”
The funds provided will have an immediate and tangible impact, opening doors to education for deserving students who might otherwise face financial barriers. By investing in the futures of these families, Advisors Excel, and its affiliated financial professionals ensure the legacy of American heroes continues to thrive through the success of their loved ones.
Folds of Honor was founded in 2007 by Lieutenant Colonel Dan Rooney, inspired by a defining moment after his return from his second tour of duty in Iraq. Upon landing, Rooney listened as the pilot announced they were carrying the remains of Corporal Brock Bucklin. Witnessing Corporal Bucklin’s twin brother escort the flag-draped casket to meet the grieving family on the tarmac, Rooney was especially moved by the sight of Corporal Bucklin’s young son. This profound experience led him to dedicate his life to providing scholarships for the families of America’s fallen and disabled service members through Folds of Honor. In 2022, the organization expanded its mission to serve the families of first responders, extending its support to even more heroes and their loved ones.
A Legacy of Giving
Since 2008, Advisors Excel and its network of financial professionals have raised approximately $11.3 million for charitable organizations through the World Series of Success event. In 2025, $1.7 million was raised to benefit four impactful not-for-profit organizations: Folds of Honor, The V Foundation for Cancer Research, Camp Southern Ground, and The Jones Project. This ongoing commitment to philanthropy underscores Advisors Excel and their affiliated financial professionals’ dedication to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
