Sport Clips Helps Heros

Sport Clips Richboro is excited to announce its participation in this year’s “Help A Hero” campaign to benefit the VFW’s ‘Operation Uplink’ and the ‘Sport Clips Help a Hero Scholarship’ fund.

Since 2007, with the launch of its first “Help A Hero” campaign to raise money for the VFW’s National Military Services program, Operation UplinkTM, Sport Clips has provided free phone calls home for overseas service members. The company has continued its efforts each year with ever-growing success, generously donating more than $1.8 million to the program in total. 

This year, Sport Clips is expanding its Help A Hero campaign in support of the VFW by raising funds to provide a new scholarship program for veterans who wish to further their education during or after military service.

The new program, known as the VFW’s “Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship,” will award scholarships of up to $5,000 to qualifying veterans and will help veterans complete their educational goals without incurring excessive student loan debt.  

Sport Clips is committed to providing support to veterans as they return from war and move on to the next chapter of their lives.  The scholarship program is our way of saying “thank you.” Sport Clips’ Help A Hero campaign to raise funds will begin on October 14 and run through November 11, Veterans Day.  Cash and credit card donations will be accepted, and ‘thank-you’ give-a-ways will be provided while supplies last.  While Sport Clips Richboro will continue to offer Veterans and active duty service members discounted cuts throughout the year, on Veteran’s Day, $1 from every haircut service will go to the new program.
