Sport Clips Help a Hero Program


Bringing home a little closer to our nation’s heroes  throughout the year.

Since 2007, Sport Clips has helped U.S. service members connect with their loved ones through our Help A Hero program, benefitting the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ Operation Uplink™ free call days. Through company and client donations, more than 1.5 million calls home were made possible by the end of 2011 and more than 1.3 million dollars have been contributed to the program to date.

Every October through Veterans Day week, Sport Clips locations nationwide collect donations to continue to provide service members with free phone time once a month and on holidays throughout the year. In addition, $1 from every hair care service given on November 11, Veterans Day, goes to support the program. “These calls are more than just ‘morale’ calls. They’re often a lifeline for those who are far from home – sometimes on their second or third deployment,” says Gordon Logan, Sport Clips CEO and Founder. “The calls were important to me when I was overseas in the Air Force, and are still important today.”

Thank you for your continued support of the Help a Hero program! To learn more about free call days, click here.
