Woodworkers For a Cause Supporting the Purple Heart Project

Woodworkers For a Cause began in 2010 as Woodworkers Fighting Cancer, bringing the woodworking community together to support meaningful charities. Since then, our community has raised more than $150,000 through charity builds, auctions, live events, and individual donations.

In 2026, we are back and proud to support the Purple Heart Project, an organization that introduces combat-wounded Veterans to the peace, purpose, and community found through traditional hand-tool woodworking.

Purple Heart Project scholarships fully fund selected Veterans to attend a week-long woodworking workshop, including travel, tuition, meals, tools, and a custom workbench delivered to their home.

This year’s fundraiser will include a WFC charity auction featuring donated tools, products, and experiences from companies throughout the woodworking industry. 

We will also host an all-day live event on October 2nd, featuring demonstrations, sponsor discussions, auction highlights, and opportunities to support the Purple Heart Project. The auction will close the following day, Oct 3rd at 7pm central https://www.32auctions.com/wfc2026
