Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) is a publicly funded 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans, to enable them to rebuild their lives. Most of these Veterans have sustained injuries including multiple limb amputations, partial or full paralysis, and/or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). These homes restore some of the freedom and independence our Veterans sacrificed while defending our country, and enable them to focus on their family, recovery, and rebuilding their lives. Since its inception in 2004, nearly 90 cents out of every dollar spent has gone directly to our program services for Veterans. HFOT builds these homes where the Veteran chooses to live, and continues its relationship with the Veterans after home delivery to assist them with rebuilding their lives.

We strive to teach the young athletes how to work together towards a common goal, support each other through teamwork and camaraderie, and build confidence and strength.

Our cheerleaders learn that time, effort, physical training, attendance and participation in practice makes the team strong and well-prepared. Mastering the skills required to succeed instills pride, self-respect, the will to win, and the courage to accept defeat when necessary. All this occurs with a constant emphasis on sportsmanship.
