We are excited to announce we were the winners of the 2012 Mike Alstott Family
Foundation Community Grant. After being selected as one of ten
"finalists," the Mike Alstott Family Foundation posted a contest on
their Facebook page for fans to "vote" for their favorite charity to
win the grant. Fans could vote once a day, every day until the end of the
contest on October 15th at 11:55 pm.
Let's just say, you guys did NOT disappoint! For two weeks fans voted on
Facebook and urged their friends to do the same. On October 16, 2012, HHN had
the most votes at 1712, 381 votes higher than the second place charity!
The Mike Alstott Family
Foundation will be awarding the grant to HHN to use towards our Welcome Home,
Hero program, which provides financial assistance to military families of
wounded service members injured in Iraq or Afghanistan since 9/11/01 to use
towards basic necessities, including food, shelter, and clothing.
"We will now be able to help
up to an additional 20 families," said HHN Executive Director, Stacey
Spiegel. "That's just incredible. We at HHN and the service members we
help are so grateful to our supporters and the Mike Alstott Family Foundation."
