Kyle's brother told CBS 11 that one hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit the Guardian For Heroes Foundation, which was founded by Kyle in 2011. Guardian for Heroes Foundation provides free, in-home fitness equipment, facilitation of donated health club memberships, individualized programs, personal training, and life coaching to in-need Veterans with disabilities, Gold Star families, and those suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) from combat deployment.
