HHN Winners of the Mike Alstott Community Grant

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."

Help HHN Win a Grant!

Healing Heroes Network has been nominated as a finalist for the Mike Alstott Family Foundation Grant, but we need your vote to help us! With the grant, we would be able to help kickstart our Welcome Home, Hero program to help our warrior families.

Many veterans struggle with the transition from military to civilian life. The Welcome Home, Hero (WHH) program at Healing Heroes, helps to aid this transition by providing financial assistance to military families of wounded heroes for basic needs, including but not limited to food, shelter, and clothing. Once an injured veteran comes home, there are many changes for the individual as well as their family. Healing Heroes Network is dedicated to healing the whole hero; by providing short-term financial support for their basic life needs, we are able to help these brave service men and women get a leg up while returning to more productive, fulfilling, civilian life with their families. When we help improve the lives of our veterans, we improve the quality of life for their families, communities, and our Country as a whole.

But before we can help these veterans and their families, we have to win! And only YOU can help! Just "Like" the Mike Alstott Family Foundation on Facebook, and then click on the Grant Contest button underneath the cover picture. Then find where Healing Heroes Network is, and VOTE! It's as simple as that.  You can only vote once per day, but you can vote daily until October 15th. Show your support of our troops and vote for HHN today!
