Today after our Foundation meeting, VFW and Sport Clips held a press conference to announce a $1.25 Million donation to the Help A Hero Scholarship Fund!
Mr Gordon Logan, Air Force veteran and Sport Clips founder, presented the check. This brings the total amount of donations from Sport Clips to the Scholarship fund to a whopping $6.5 Million dollars. These funds help veterans and service members in their college and certification programs, in addition to any GI Bill benefits they may be receiving. More than $120,000 of the money was raised from Sport Clips' own $1 per haircut service donation made on Veterans Day while clients, individual supporters and Sport Clips team members donated the largest portion of the money raised. For readers of this blog, you know I'm a big supporter of Sport Clips and I'm so proud to be a part of this scholarship program.
Gordon was gracious enough to take a pose with Mama. My own Sport Clips folks back home asked if I would get a picture of Mama with him for their shop! She did lay on his feet for most of the Foundation meeting, so why not!
