Henry Repeating Arms has donated $25,000 to the Border Patrol Foundation (BPF). The funds will help support the organization’s mission to honor the memory of fallen U.S. Border Patrol agents, as well as provide immediate financial aid to their families and to officers injured in the line of duty. Their dedication and sacrifice to national security remains unwavering, despite the peril of often working rugged terrain that chronically delays backup’s arrival and the divisive debate over illegal alien crossings.
Growing in scope since its founding in 2009, BPF offers financial assistance to agents and Border Patrol support personnel who are wounded, injured or have fallen ill while performing their duties. The organization’s benefits also extend to their family members, and it has a scholarship program for the children of fallen Border Patrol agents.
“Henry Repeating Arms’ donation will make a very significant impact to our critical mission,” said Rowdy Adams, president of the Border Patrol Foundation. “BPF is very thankful for the support and looks forward to a long-lasting relationship with Henry Repeating Arms. The generous donation supports our commitment to ‘Honoring the Memory. Serving the Families.’”
Henry’s check presentation took place at the BPF’s Southwest Soirée on May 10, in conjunction with the Border Security Expo in El Paso, Texas. Henry Repeating Arms ambassadors and dealers Clark Sanders and his daughter Martha Kaye Sanders—of Big Sandee’s Guns—presented the check to the organization.
“We are proud to help support the Border Patrol Foundation so they can continue to be there for the families of the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day at our borders,” said Anthony Imperato, founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “I cannot imagine the anguish of a family that loses a loved one in the line of duty, and we hope this donation can go on to help ease some of the financial burdens and provide greater opportunities for their children.”
