Description

My name is Travis Puryear and I am the media relations manager for a non-profit organization called Outdoors For Our Heroes (OFOH).  This year I have been tasked with finding generous companies willing to provide donations for our 3rd Annual Banquet and Auction being held on July 20, 2019.  We are seeking items for our live auction, silent auction, and raffle.  First, a little about us.

 

OFOH is a 501c3 non-profit that is dedicated to bringing our nation’s heroes to the outdoors.  Our mission is to provide a memorable outdoor experience through hunting for America’s disabled and recovering military Veterans. By sponsoring and facilitating outdoor trips we strive to enhance the healing process, create lasting memories, and provide a support system for our nation’s heroes.  We are changing veterans’ lives one hunt at a time.  These men and women have put their lives, limbs, and health on the line so that you and I can enjoy the freedoms that we do.  The least that we can do is to help them heal when (and if) they come home.  I am sure you agree. 

 

This event supplies a majority of our operating income for the year.  The capacity for the event is 750 people and after only a couple of weeks, we are 1/3 of the way sold out.  Therefore we expect a full house of 750 attendees who are avid outdoorsmen and women.  A donation to our event will not only help many disabled veterans regain a sense of normalcy, but it will also give your company exposure and show your support for those who have risked it all for you and me.
