May 01 2024 - 10:58AM
TAUNTON , Mass - The national nonprofit Homes For Our Troops
(HFOT) will be spotlighted during the 108th Indianapolis 500
presented by Gainbridge on Sunday, May 26, 2024. HFOT’s Platinum
Partner, ABC Supply Co. Inc., gifted the design of the #14 AJ Foyt
Racing car to help bring awareness to the organization’s mission of
building and donating specially adapted custom homes for severely
injured post-9/11 Veterans, to enable them to rebuild their lives.
ABC Supply has set their sights on a fundraising goal of $4 million
and will also match all donations made to HFOT up to $1 million
total for the entire month of May — also National Military
Appreciation Month — from Wednesday, May 1, through Friday, May
31.
“We are grateful and
honored that ABC Supply has chosen to spotlight Homes For Our
Troops for another year during the 2024 Indy 500,” said HFOT
President and CEO, Brigadier General (Ret) Tom Landwermeyer. “Their
generous $1 million match furthers our mission of Building Homes
and Rebuilding Lives and enables us to get even more severely
injured post-9/11 Veterans and their families into the specially
adapted custom homes they need and deserve.”
ABC Supply Co. Inc.,
North America’s largest wholesale distributor of roofing and other
select exterior and interior building products, has been a
multimillion-dollar supporter of HFOT since
2020.
“We’re honored to give
back to the Veterans who have given so much and shine a light on
the incredible mission of Homes For Our Troops this month and at
the Indy 500,” says Mike Jost, chief operating officer of ABC
Supply. “HFOT does so much for our nation’s Veterans, and we’re
honored to support them with this fundraiser alongside our friends
at AJ Foyt Racing.” This year marks the third straight year that
ABC Supply has spearheaded the Indy 500-based Homes For Our Troops
fund-raising campaign, which raised over $2 million in the first
year and over $3 million last year.
Santino Ferrucci will be
back behind the wheel of the No. 14 Chevrolet on Sunday, May 26,
after a thrilling third-place finish in last year’s Indy 500.
“We are proud to be
carrying the beautiful patriotic livery for Homes For Our Troops
and ABC Supply on the No. 14 Chevrolet in this year’s Indianapolis
500. Finishing third last year has set the bar high for us, but we
believe the team and Santino Ferrucci will be challenging for the
win again,” shared Larry Foyt, president of A.J. Foyt Enterprises.
“It is exciting to be part of this campaign to raise awareness and
funds to support Homes For Our Troops, which has made such a
positive difference in the lives of America's severely injured
post-9/11 Veterans."
Homes For Our Troops has
built and donated 379 homes in 45 states and currently has 77
active projects in various stages of construction nationwide. Since
its inception in 2004, nearly 90 cents of every dollar spent has
gone directly to our program services for Veterans.

About Homes
For Our Troops (HFOT)
Homes For Our Troops
(HFOT) is a publicly funded 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that
builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide to
severely injured post-9/11 Veterans, to enable them to rebuild
their lives. Most of these Veterans have sustained life-altering
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. 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. Since its inception in 2004, nearly 90
cents of every dollar spent has gone directly to our program
services supporting Veterans. For more information, visit
