North Dakota State was one of seven finalists that included Texas A&M University, University of Arizona, George Mason University, Utah State University, Western Michigan University, and Clemson University. The finalists were chosen based on their efforts to fully integrate OHT on and off their campuses through a presence in their bookstores and other retail outlets; promoting veterans' causes through their social media properties and advertising campaigns; and generating additional revenue that will be used to support the recovery of wounded service members and veterans.
"I am very proud of what North Dakota State has done to support Operation Hat Trick and veterans who have been wounded, and are now recovering from invisible and visible injuries," said Dot Sheehan, Founder and CEO of Operation Hat Trick. "Despite a year of challenges, NDSU has shown not only a commitment to support OHT but also a commitment to support their local community, which is so critical. We at OHT are honored and proud to partner with North Dakota State."
A portion of each sale of OHT branded merchandise is donated to select organizations that support the recovery of wounded service members and veterans. Through the sale of branded merchandise, Operation Hat Trick has helped 80+ organizations that provide direct support to veterans in need. They include the Travis Mills Foundation, Semper Fi Fund, Warriors Ice Hockey Programs, Hero Flights, the Yellow Ribbon Fund, Fisher Houses, Veterans Healing Farm, and Jared Allen's Homes for Wounded Warriors.
