Here at NRA Family, we've written a lot over the years about Henry Repeating Arms' wonderful Guns for Great Causes program. The dreamchild of Henry founder and CEO Anthony Imperato, Guns for Great Causes has raised funds for critically ill children and their families, American veterans and their families, conservation and first responders. Thanks in part to that last, Imperato was recently honored with the prestigious Humanitarian Award by the New York Police Department Committee of Police Societies (NYPD COPS).
The NYPD COPS unites various NYPD fraternal and religious societies to recognize notable contributions to the community. Its Humanitarian Award is reserved for individuals who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to charitable work and support for law enforcement. To date, Henry Repeating Arms has donated over $3.5 million through Guns For Great Causes initiatives. Imperato’s unwavering commitment to charitable giving and his dedication to supporting the brave men and women of law enforcement earned him this distinguished recognition from the NYPD COPS.
The award recognizes Imperato’s outstanding charitable contributions through Henry’s “Guns For Great Causes” program and his dedication to supporting America’s law enforcement. Upon receiving it, Imperato said, “I grew up working behind the retail counter in my family’s police equipment shop in lower Manhattan. Since then, I have always had a profound respect for all law enforcement. Receiving this award from an esteemed organization representing New York City’s finest from 37 different ethnic backgrounds is a very special honor. I conceived of Henry’s Guns For Great Causes some 20 years ago after surviving some difficult times, feeling blessed and grateful. Giving back will always be part of Henry Repeating Arms’ DNA.”
