ABC Supply Raises Over $3 Million for Homes For Our Troops in Conjunction With Indy 500

ABC Supply Co., Inc. announced that over $3 million has been donated to Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) as part of a fundraiser held by the company in conjunction with the 107th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge.

Among millions of viewers tuning in for Sunday’s race, several HFOT Veterans were invited to experience the whirlwind weekend. The Veterans got a garage tour of the No. 14 AJ Foyt Racing Chevrolet driven by Santino Ferrucci, walked the fabled Yard of Bricks and got a front-row seat to the patriotic, stars-and-stripes-clad HFOT Indy car racing to a thrilling third-place finish.

“This past weekend’s events at the Indy 500 were an incredible experience for our Veterans, including one-on-one interactions with the AJ Foyt Racing team as well as celebrating driver Santino Ferrucci’s third-place finish. We are so grateful to ABC Supply for not only hosting HFOT at the event but for raising national awareness of our mission of ‘Building Homes and Rebuilding Lives’ through both the car’s patriotic design and by matching donations throughout the month of May. Our Veterans had the experience of a lifetime, and the exposure we gained ensures we can build and donate specially adapted custom homes to many more of our nation’s most severely injured post-9/11 Veterans,” said HFOT President/CEO Brigadier General, USA (Ret) Tom Landwermeyer. 

ABC Supply has been a passionate supporter of HFOT since 2020 and donated the design of the Indy car to create more awareness for the organization, which builds and donates specially adapted custom homes across the United States for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans, enabling them to rebuild their lives. HFOT has built 355 specially adapted homes since its inception in 2004.

“We were excited to host this monthlong donation match campaign, and now, we’re simply humbled by the overwhelming support that has poured in for HFOT,” said Mike Jost, chief operating officer at ABC Supply. “Our relationship with HFOT means a great deal to us, and we’re so thankful to the team at AJ Foyt Racing for helping us bring light to the incredible work the organization does for our nation’s Veterans.”

“The entire AJ Foyt Racing team has been honored to represent such a wonderful organization,” said Team President Larry Foyt. “From meeting some courageous heroes who attended the race to carrying the beautiful red, white and blue livery on Memorial Day weekend, this program has been special to our team and fans alike. We’re thrilled that we could have a fantastic finish and hopefully raise a great deal of awareness about Homes For Our Troops.”
