We are honored to share the story of retired Fire Chief Hugh Stott, a man dedicated to making good people better. As a firefighter, coach, and mentor, Hugh has trained countless firefighters, taught high school baseball players valuable life lessons, and instilled the principle, “Do the right thing, always,” in his family. On July 19th, we honored Hugh, who is battling ALS, by donating $5,000 for a custom wheelchair. Today, we're proud to introduce a Benefit Coffee Bag and Shirt, with proceeds supporting Hugh in his continued battle with ALS. The design features “Everybody Gets Home Safe,” reflecting Hugh’s passions for firefighting and baseball. Hugh’s career includes serving as Deputy Chief of the West Chicago Fire Protection District and training firefighters worldwide. Many he coached and trained, along with his family, joined us to celebrate him. Hugh was diagnosed with ALS in early 2020, a disease linked to firefighting hazards. Despite this, his mind and humor remain sharp. His wife Karen, along with nurses, are his primary caregivers. Hugh’s story is a testament to resilience and the impact one person can have. Thank you for your continued support. Please consider supporting Hugh's fight by purchasing a Benefit Coffee Bag and T-shirt.

“Our fear is overcome by our conscience and our beliefs and forces us to act." - John McCain My son Rex is one of the youngest participating in this year’s New York City SEAL Swim to raise money for The Navy SEAL Foundation which provides critical support for the warriors, veterans, and families of Naval Special Warfare. This event consists of a mile run at the start, a total of 3.5 miles of swimming broken up by 3 stations where they complete 100 honor pushups and 22 pull ups, and a final mile run at the end to the World Trade Center. Please consider helping him in his journey. https://lnkd.in/egt6Wibm “Sworn to protect us from America’s foes. They operate under cover of darkness, against unimaginable odds. Not for status. Not for glory. But to defend our way of life.

What if your tumbler or cooler purchase could contribute toward giving a dog 🐾 AND a veteran 🇺🇸 a second chance? There are so many dogs that deserve a second chance, which is one reason I love the mission behind Shelter to Soldier™— a non-profit organization that rescues dogs from local shelters and trains them to become service animals for post 9/11 combat veterans to help both recover and move forward. >>> So how can you help? While yes, you can give online directly, you can also make a few great promo swaps! 🔀 When you choose promo products from the Perka®, iWork®, and iCOOL® collections, a portion is donated to Shelter to Soldier. 🐾 🇺🇸 It takes about 12-18 months to train one dog and cost is around $12k to $18k per dog. While I understand we all love the “trendy brands”, I think it’s easy to agree we love quality merch that does more. ❤️ Product Features: • Affordable price point. • 40 oz. capacity • Ergonomic handle • Keeps your hot drink hot for 18 hours and cold drink cold for 36 hours. • Tranparent lid with spill-resistant slide closure • Sleek body shape that can be safely placed in most car cup holders • FDA compliant and BPA Free. . . . #giveback #sheltertosoldier #perka #merchthatmatters #brandedmerch #promoproducts #promotionalproducts #domoregood #veterans #helpourveterans #givingback
