Grand Island, NE - Hornady® Manufacturing has doubled its donation to the GRACE Foundation for 2015. The GRACE Foundation is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to serving cancer patients, cancer survivors, and their families.
The donation was made possible from partial proceeds of the sale of Hornady® Critical Defense® Lite™ ammunition sold from November 2014 through November 2015. Critical Defense® Lite™ features a pink bullet tip and pink ribbon packaging to help showcase support in the fight against cancer.
"Everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer. It is our honor to be a part of a company that can be so giving to our community and give to GRACE, knowing that they will help so many people in need," said Renae Waltemath, Hornady Director of Sales.
So far this year, GRACE Foundation has paid out over $52,000 in assistance. GRACE Foundation assists cancer patients, cancer survivors, and family members who live within 40 miles of Grand Island, Nebraska, or are being treated at the Grand Island Cancer Treatment Center. Aid is given in a variety of forms to address financial expenses not typically covered by insurance, such as gas cards to better enable patients to access treatment, assistance in paying household expenses, food certificates, and more.
Laurie Kulus, Executive Director of GRACE Foundation adds, "This gift makes it possible for us to directly affect families in our community and the surrounding area. Hornady is extremely dedicated to our community and this gift is a direct reflection of their commitment. We are blessed beyond words for this incredible donation and thank Hornady for being an outstanding community advocate."
