Supporting our nation's military remains a priority for our veteran-founded business. We are honored to make this donation to the Help A Hero program for those who have given so much through their service," said Gordon Logan, Air Force veteran,
VFW Life member and founder and chairman of Sport Clips. "We're grateful to our franchisees, team members, clients, and product partners who faithfully support these essential scholarships."

"The pandemic's impact has been far-reaching, especially for our military and veteran families, and this campaign helps to ensure we continue to provide as many student veterans with scholarships as possible," said Hal Roesch II, VFW national
commander. "I'm proud to announce that we have awarded another 160 student veterans with scholarships totaling nearly $700,000<https://vfworg-cdn.azureedge.net/-/media/vfwsite/files/media-and-events/articles/2021/2021springhahscholarshiprecipients.pdf>
for the spring 2021 semester. To date, more than 1,900 military and student veterans have benefitted from the Help A Hero Scholarship program through $8.7 million donated previously by Sport Clips Haircuts and its generous clients and product
partners."

stores and through virtual walks. Sport Clips partners Direct Beauty Express, John Paul Mitchell Systems<https://www.paulmitchell.com/>, Nioxin<https://www.nioxin.com/en-US>, Sexy Hair<https://www.sexyhair.com/>, Gibs Grooming<https://gibsgrooming.com/>, ACTiiV<https://www.actiivbrand.com/>, and
