Hides for Heroes turns donated deer hides and community events into support for veterans and local emergency services - with a healing retreat for Purple Heart veterans at its heart.
Our mission
From the deer stand to a veteran's healing.
Hides for Heroes raises funds through community deer-hide collections and events, donating proceeds to local emergency services and veteran support organizations - primarily Camp Hackett Healing Center, an outdoor retreat for Purple Heart veterans in Phillips, Wisconsin.
Deer hides become support
Community hide collections turn a hunting-season byproduct into real funding for those who serve.
Healing for veterans
Proceeds primarily support Camp Hackett Healing Center, a nature-based retreat for rest, reflection, and renewal.
Backing local heroes
Funds also reach local emergency services and veteran support organizations across the region.
Powered by community
The golf outing and Sportsmen's Banquet bring neighbors together for a shared cause.
