Henry Repeating Arms recently donated another $25,000 to the First Responders Children’s Foundation at a celebratory National First Responders Day event in New York City’s Times Square. The donation follows a $50,000 donation in 2022 and a $25,000 donation in 2023, bringing Henry Repeating Arms’ total contributions to $100,000 in support of the organization’s mission to help support the children and families of first responders who have been killed or injured in the line of duty.
Founded in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks—when 800 children lost a first responder parent in the line of duty—First Responders Children’s Foundation provides a range of services, from grants and scholarships to counseling and community engagement events. Its National First Responder’s Day celebration includes a “Roll Call of Heroes” to shine a spotlight on the men and women who put the protection and safety of their communities first.
“Their mission is vital to the well-being of the first responder community and these children who will be America’s future,” said Anthony Imperato, founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “When tragedy strikes a first responder family, the First Responders Children’s Foundation swoops in with an outpouring of love and financial support, and I hope that we will always be in the fortunate position of being able to support what they do.”
Henry Repeating Arms’ contributions are made through its charitable branch, Guns for Great Causes, which is primarily focused on providing financial relief to families of sick children and children’s hospitals. In late summer, for example, it raised funds to help a couple meet bills incurred as their 10-year-old daughter underwent advanced cancer treatment.
Guns for Great Causes also supports some of the nation’s top-rated organizations benefiting military veterans, law enforcement and first responders, wildlife conservation, America’s shooting sports and hunting heritage, and those developing and promoting firearms safety education programs.
