BRCC & UFC launch donation campaign to help
the HunterSeven Foundation combat serious and life-threatening
illnesses stemming from military exposure to toxins
Black Rifle Coffee Company (NYSE: BRCC) (“BRCC”), a rapidly
growing and mission-driven coffee company founded to support
veterans, active-duty military, and first responders, and UFC®, the
world’s premier mixed martial arts organization and part of TKO
Group Holdings (NYSE: TKO), are partnering to raise funds and
awareness to support HunterSeven Foundation’s mission to help
veterans live healthy and fulfilling lives.
To show their support, BRCC and UFC will team up to match
$150,000 in public donations to HunterSeven Foundation as it works
to prevent and detect cancer at its earliest stages through
research, education, and accessible medical screening.
“As I think back on my time in uniform, I remember those lost
not from combat, but from cancer,” said Chelsey Simoni,
HunterSeven Foundation Co-Founder and Executive Director. “More
than a half million of our fellow warfighters have been diagnosed
with cancer during the Global War on Terror. That is approximately
1 in every 7 service members, myself included. Each data point is a
life, each trend is a story, and each interaction is an
opportunity—together we have the capabilities to save as many
military veterans from preventable cancer deaths as possible
through early identification and screening. Evan and BRCC have
supported HunterSeven since our beginning, and with UFC and BRCC,
we stand ready to continue to bring the fight to cancer and end
preventable cancer deaths in our fellow warfighters.”
“Taking care of the men and women who serve this country is
something that has always been important to me and an issue I care
deeply about,” said UFC CEO Dana White. “I have been talking
about this a lot lately, aligning myself and the UFC with companies
that have the same core values. Veterans have put their lives on
the line and sacrificed so much to protect our way of life, and I’m
proud of the work that we do with partners like Black Rifle Coffee
Company to help our vets get the medical care and services they
need to live healthier lives.”
“BRCC stands with the veteran community, it’s our mission,” said
Evan Hafer, BRCC Founder and CEO. “Millions of us served our
country in support of the Global War on Terror, and now we’re
fighting for survival back here at home. In the wake of the
post-9/11 wars, hundreds of thousands of veterans have died of
‘unknown causes.’ That number includes some of my closest friends,
guys I served with and consider brothers. The groundbreaking work
that the HunterSeven Foundation is doing is personal to me and to
every person who has ever worn this country’s uniform. I’m proud to
stand alongside UFC this Veterans Day in supporting
HunterSeven.”
To commemorate Veterans Day, BRCC and UFC will partner at the
highly anticipated UFC® 295: PROCHAZKA vs. PEREIRA, which
takes place on Saturday, November 11, from Madison Square Garden in
New York City. HunterSeven’s branding will appear alongside the
BRCC reticle inside the world-famous Octagon®, and together, BRCC
and UFC will raise awareness about the HunterSeven Foundation and
send a broad message of support for veterans.
HunterSeven Foundation leads research efforts in military
exposures and their long- and short-term impacts on the health of
the post-9/11 veteran population, with the intention of sharing
evidence-based data and creating clinical practice guidelines for
healthcare providers and the veteran community. Through their
immediate needs programming, the foundation also advances proactive
wellness by offering access to specialized programs across the
nation including medical care and recovery services not covered by
insurance. HunterSeven also supports caregivers by helping with
pending and unpaid medical bills, travel expenses during treatment,
and survivor costs. To learn more about HunterSeven Foundation and
