Please check out the top contributors by state on the NHPF website. There has been some movement. Congratulations to Texas, as they moved up to the tenth spot. Is your state listed among the top 15? If not, it should be.

We have plenty of bricks left for you to purchase. All charter presidents were sent about 100 or so NHPF brochures. If you need information on the brick order see your charter president or see this link. More will be available at this year’s World Tournament and anyone who would like to distribute them is welcome to take some back to your charter.

How much shopping does your family do online? Do you shop around Christmas time, birthdays, for the convenience of having it delivered to you home in days? It certainly beats driving a 50-mile round trip to a box store. There is a new program with Amazon where half of one percent of your purchase will be designated to the charity of your choice. The NHPF has applied and received permission to become one of those recipients.

You can now make your AmazonSmile purchases just like a normal Amazon purchase and the NHPF will benefit from your shopping. Our registered number is 62-1671910, if you need to submit it.

It’s a pittance when figured on an individual basis, but it adds up if 10,000 people spent $100 per year that’s $500.00 per year we didn’t get anywhere else. Please tell all your friends and relatives about this great opportunity to assist the sport you love. Imagine if we had all your friends and acquaintances participating in this, what a great source of revenue for our foundation and your Hall of Fame. We thank you in advance for spreading the word, and participating in this worthy program.
