Gratitude Initiative (GI) today received a $50,000 donation from Sport Clips Haircuts to continue its work with children enrolled in its college and career preparatory program from our military’s Special Operations families. Gratitude Initiative is a non-profit that provides essential education programs and college scholarships to the children of our nation’s active-duty military, veterans, disabled veterans, and those killed in defense of our country. It is the only program of its type that serves military and veteran families.
The organization offers the most comprehensive full-service college preparatory program available and covers all aspects of the high school-to-college transition process, with 96 percent of seniors accepted into one or both of their two college choices. The GI College Success Academy is provided at no charge to the students and families they serve and is delivered online by expert advisors to support military and veteran children anywhere in the world.
“Sport Clips’ ongoing investment in our mission ensures that we are able to help the children of our nation’s most elite warriors succeed in college, career, and life,” said Lee Sechrist, GI co-founder and Army veteran. “We cannot say thank you enough for their generous support over the last twelve years!”
As a veteran-founded company, Sport Clips is a long-time supporter of military organizations and their families. Gordon Logan, Sport Clips founder and chairman, served as an aircraft commander in the U.S. Air Force, and is a strong supporter of educational programs and assistance for veterans and their families. As CEO and President, Edward Logan, continues the mission to support veterans and their families and the donation to Gratitude Initiative is a way Sport Clips to continue to provide “Haircuts with Heart” by supporting our nation’s military families.
