Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
SINCE INCEPTION IN 2009, UNITED HEROES LEAGUE HAS POSITIVELY AFFECTED THE LIVES OF OVER 75,000 MILITARY FAMILIES FROM COAST TO COAST AND AROUND THE WORLD. WE ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION BY PROVIDING SERVICE MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES FREE SPORTS EQUIPMENT, FINANCIAL GRANTS TO OFFSET SPORTS FEES, SKILL DEVELOPMENT CAMPS, PRO SPORT TICKETING FOR THE MILITARY FAMILIES TO ENJOY A SPECIAL NIGHT OUT TOGETHER BEFORE OR AFTER A DEPLOYMENT, AND SPECIAL EXPERIENCES OF MEETING PRO ATHLETES FACE TO FACE. ADDITIONALLY, UNITED HEROES LEAGUE HAS MADE THEIR PILOT PROGRAM OF "UNITED HEROES LEAGUE OUTDOORS" A PERMANENT PROGRAM ADDITION THAT WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE MILITARY KIDS AND THEIR SERVICE MEMBER PARENTS FISHING FOR A DAY WITH A CELEBRITY AND PRO GUIDE. THE NEW PROGRAM WILL SOON INCLUDE ARCHERY AND OTHER OUTDOOR SPORTS. UNITED HEROES LEAGUE HAS ALSO DEVELOPED SEVERAL UNIQUE ASSETS ON ITS CORPORATE PROPERTY THAT INCLUDE A FULL SCALL D.O.D. SPEC CONFIDENCE (OBSTACLE) COURSE, AS WELL AS A FULL NHL SIZE OUTDOOR ICE SURFACE. BOTH ASSETS WILL BE USED FOR CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS TARGETED FUNDRAISING EVENT DAYS. TO DATE, THE ORGANIZATION HAS PROVIDED OUR NATION'S HEROES WITH 53,000 PRO SPORTS TICKETS, OVER 12,000 SETS OF ATHLETIC EQUIPMENT VALUED AT OVER EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS, SENT OVER 4,000 KIDS TO YOUTH DEVELOPMENT CAMPS, AND ASSISTED WITH OVER 550,000 IN FINANCIAL AID TO OFFEST SPORTS REGISTRATION FEES FOR LOWER RANKING MILITARY FAMILIES. ADDITIONALLY, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ADDITIONAL MILITARY FAMILIES HAVE BEEN IMPACTED INDIRECTLY BY BRINGING PRO ATHLETES AMBASSADORS TO ACTIVE DUTY INSTALLATIONS, ARMORIES, AND VETERAN HOMES TO MENTOR AND BOOST THE MORALE OF OUR SERVICE MEMBERS AND THEIR KIDS. OFTEN TIMES THOSE VISITS INCLUDE CONDUCTING PRIVATE MEET AND GREET SESSIONS FOR SPECIAL FAMILIES WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH SEVERE SERVICE-CONNECTED INJURIES OR THOSE WITH A PARENT WHO WAS KILLED IN ACTION. UNITED HEROES LEAGUE'S LONG-TERM OBJECTIVE IS TO POSITIVELY IMPACT ALL 5 MILLION MILITARY KIDS. KEEPING THEM HEALTHY AND ACTIVE IN SPORTS IS A CRITICAL WAY FOR THEM TO COPE WITH THE STRESS OF A PARENT'S DEPLOYMENT OR INJURY, AND A GREAT WAY FOR THEM TO STAY ENGAGED AND ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY.
