Mission accomplished! Over $5.2 million raised for homes for our troops

ABC - Mission accomplished
June 28, 2024 at 10:00 p.m.

The third year of ABC Supply and AJ Foyt Racing partnership breaks records!

For the third straight year, ABC Supply teamed up with AJ Foyt Racing to raise awareness and support for Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) and its critically important mission to build specially adapted homes for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans. But the spirit of giving went far beyond the race itself.

From associate contributions and a fundraising gala to a thrilling IndyCar performance by Santino Ferrucci and a $1 million match by ABC Supply, many elements came together to raise a record-setting $5.2 million for HFOT.

But the real champions of the weekend were the Veterans who were treated to a once-in-a-lifetime experience at the track and those who will receive an HFOT home, thanks to the support of Americans nationwide.

Take a look at some of the highlights from this year’s fundraising campaign.

ABC Supply hosted a group of Homes For Our Troops Veterans, who got to tour the Indy 500 garage and get an up-close look at the Indy car.

They also got an up-close look at the trophy given to the Indy 500 winner, the Borg-Warner Trophy, which was displayed on the historic Yard of Bricks.

Santino drove a strong race, finishing eighth to set a record of six straight top-10 finishes in six starts.

Thank you to everyone who supported this HFOT campaign and cheered on our No. 14 Indy car. Together, we’re helping build more homes and rebuild more lives for Veterans.
