Henry Repeating Arms has done it again! The famed lever-gun manufacturer just donated another $25,000 to the First Responders Children’s Foundation at a celebratory National First Responders Day event in New York City’s Times Square. It's part of Henry's Guns for Great Causes program, which raises money to offer financial relief to families of sick children and children’s hospitals ... but the great causes don't stop there! It also supports some of the nation’s top-rated organizations benefitting military veterans, law enforcement and first responders, wildlife conservation, America’s shooting sports and hunting heritage, and those developing and promoting firearms safety education programs.
This latest donation to First Responders Children's Foundation follows a $50,000 donation in 2022 and a $25,000 donation in 2023, bringing Henry Repeating Arms’ total contributions to $100,000 for the organization’s mission to help support the children and families of first responders who have been killed or injured in the line of duty.
The First Responders Children’s Foundation was founded in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when 800 children lost a first responder parent in the line of duty. Over the last 23 year, the organization has provided a range of services, from grants and scholarships to counseling and community engagement events. Their National First Responder’s Day celebration includes a “Roll Call of Heroes” to shine a spotlight on the men and women who put the protection and safety of their communities first.
“Their mission is vital to the well-being of the first responder community and these children who will be America’s future,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “When tragedy strikes a first responder family, the First Responders Children’s Foundation swoops in with an outpouring of love and financial support, and I hope that we will always be in the fortunate position of being able to support what they do.”
