The Operation: Hat Trick nonprofit organization has partnered with Kindred Hearts for a licensed home décor product collection to support military veterans.
Kindred Hearts is a family-run, for-profit company that produces and sells home goods such as wall art, signs and canvas products.
“We are thrilled to partner with a family-run company like Kindred Hearts, that makes their products in the USA so that we can continue to support our veterans in need, who have sacrificed so much to protect our freedom,” said Operation Hat Trick founder, Dot Sheehan.
The licensed Operation: Hat Trick product line includes a variety of wall hanging and free-standing home décor signs that feature logos and iconography from both American college sports teams and Operation: Hat Trick.
Proceeds from the Kindred Hearts x Operation Hat Trick home décor collection will be provided to organizations and initiatives that specialize in supporting injured military veterans.
The licensed Operation: Hat Trick product collection is currently available for purchase on the sports-focused e-commerce website, RallyHouse.
Founded in 2007, Operation: Hat Trick is an American non-profit organization dedicated to providing support to wounded veterans through the sale of branded merchandise and products.
Since 2014, the charitable organization has raised and donated over $4.6 million to a wide range of veteran support initiatives across 41 states.
The non-profit organization has funded its charitable initiatives through product licensing partnerships with 20 NHL teams, 13 NBA teams, 80 MLB teams and 500 colleges and universities in the US.
The partnership with Kindred Hearts was brokered by Operation Hat Trick’s licensing representative, Universal Branding & Media.
“We believe college sports fans will love the new line of Operation Hat Trick home décor products, but what they will love even more is that proceeds will benefit our nation’s veterans,” said Universal Branding & Media VP, Heidi Schwartz.
