We believe in Empowering Wounded Heroes — One
Home at a Time by providing a hand up, not a hand out.
Helping A Hero is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides
specially adapted homes for severely wounded post
9/11 veterans.
Helping A Hero homes are customized with special
adaptations tailored to the unique needs of each Hero.
Our homes facilitate the transition from military to civilian
life and allow severely wounded veterans to regain some

of their lost independence.
Our principal activity is to provide specially adapted
homes for qualifying service members through
partnerships made with builders, developers and
communities. We strive to engage the community in
providing services and resources for our wounded
Heroes and their families. We also provide our Heroes

with additional support programs such as marriage
retreats, caregiver retreats, recreational activities,
emotional support, and financial support.
THE STATES IN RED INDICATE
THE HOMES OF OUR HEROS.
You are invited to participate in Helping A Hero’s second annual Sporting Clays Tournament.
Our spring fundraising tournament is limited to twenty Shooting Sponsors*, each of whom
will be partnered with a Hero as a teammate. Heroes are severely wounded veterans who are
either past or future Helping a Hero home recipients.
Ten, four-man teams, consisting of two Shooting Sponsors and two Heroes, will compete
through ten stations. Shooting Sponsors are asked to provide a shotgun for their own use
and, if available, an additional shotgun for their Hero’s use. Commemorative shirts will be
provided (limited to 100, sizing based on availability.)
Shooting Sponsors will be featured in the Tournament Program Guide. Shooting Sponsors are
also welcome to bring a guest to view the event and share in the after-tournament festivities,
including an outdoor meal in PAWNEE’s beautiful covered pavilion.
