Hunt Military Communities Non-Profit Organization Major Sponsor of wear blue: run to remember first fundraising gala

Hunt Military Communities Mgmt., LLC ("HMC"), a subsidiary of Hunt Companies, Inc. ("Hunt"), new nonprofit, the Hunt Heroes Foundation ("HHF") was honored to have served as a major sponsor for the recent wear blue: run to remember fundraising gala recently held in Chicago.

wear blue: run to remember uses the power of community and the accessibility of running and walking for community members to serve as a living memorial and honor generations of America's fallen heroes. This fundraiser allowed wear blue to continue its focus on increasing support of its programs, in particular its gold star youth mentorship program (GSYMP). The GSYMP offers support and mentorship for the 10,252 children in our country who have lost a parent in military service since the Global War on Terror (GWOT) began.

Currently, HHF has an association with wear blue: run to remember, a national nonprofit running community that honors the service and sacrifice of the American military. Through generous donations, HHF has donated more than $25,000 to wear blue and helped orchestrate more than 20 Memorial Day runs throughout the nation.

"We are thrilled with the outcome of the first fundraising gala which will have a direct impact on gold star children," said President, Co-Founder and Gold Star Wife Lisa Hallett. "This event would not have been possible without the support of all of our sponsors, including the Hunt Heroes Foundation. We are so appreciative of their dedication to wear blue."

HHF encourages growth and development by funding projects that address community challenges in the areas of health, education, housing and overall community support. Its focus is to improve the quality of life for military families who sacrifice so much day-in and day-out.

"We were honored to be a part of the wear blue event which served as a stark reminder why it is so critical to continue supporting our military members and their families," stated John Ehle, President of HHF. "With almost 7,000 Service Members killed since the GWOT began, wear blue helps ensure their service and sacrifice is not forgotten. We look forward to a long relationship with their team."

HHF will help bring a focus on supporting our residents and employees in reaching their best potential through partnerships, donations and activities. HHF will strengthen the bond between Hunt, its residents, employees and communities.
