Sport Clips Haircuts presented a check to the VFW Foundation for $1.5 million toward veterans’ scholarships, during a free haircut event.
This is the sixth year in a row that Sport Clips has donated at least $1 million to the Sport Clips VFW Help A Hero Scholarship program. Since 2013, Sport Clips has donated nearly $13 million to the “Help A Hero Scholarship” program.
The program provides scholarships for service members and veterans.
Sport Clips partners Direct Beauty Express, John Paul Mitchell Systems, Nioxin, Sexy Hair, Gibs Grooming, Actiiv and American Crew, also made contributions.
"We owe our veterans and their families a debt of gratitude for their service. By helping ease the financial burden that often comes with reentering the civilian workforce, Sport Clips team members, clients, and product partners join us in saying 'thank you' to those who have served our country," says Gordon Logan, Air Force veteran, VFW Life member and founder and chairman of Sport Clips. “Over the past ten years, the Help A Hero program has become a real difference-maker in the lives of so many veterans who have benefited from these scholarships and who are now successfully engaged in their civilian careers.”
The application period for fall 2023 Help A Hero Scholarships is open now through April 30, 2023.
