We would like to give a huge shout out and THANK YOU to Webster First Federal Credit Union (Fitchburg) for donating $500 to our cause through their employee dress-down fundraiser! We can not thank local donors like this enough! We would not be able to continue our mission without thoughtful folks like this helping us make a difference for military families! 🇺🇲🫡🤘

As a Gold Star Family, we at HicksStrong know firsthand the weight of sacrifice and the depth of loss that comes with serving our country. Today, on Gold Star Mothers and Families Day, we remember and honor the families, like ours, who have lost a loved one in military service. 🇺🇸💛

We stand with you, hold you in our hearts, and pledge to continue the fight to support our military families and service members. Thank you for your sacrifice and for carrying forward their legacy.

You are never alone. 💙

One of our amazing community members (veteran) has taken it upon herself to raise money for our cause by creating a prize calendar! Here is a message from her!

"Our Prize Calendar to raise $ for The Minus 22 Foundation is getting filled with some great items. We have restaurant cards, store cards, movie passes, 18 holes of golf for 4, trip for 2 to Foxwoods, 4 water park passes to Great Wolf, cash prizes and more. Still have some days to fill but we are working on it and want to start selling by the 15th (May) so if you have a gift you'd like to donate please get in touch with me. Huge and heartfelt thanks to everyone that has donated so far - it's for a very important cause."

Thank you so much for all you do for us and the military community! Marybeth Hayward
