Colleges and Universities Support Military Veterans With Operation Hat Trick
ATLANTA, Ga., (Jan. 25, 2011) – The Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), a division of IMG College, today announced the national launch of Operation Hat Trick, a co-branded headwear initiative designed to support the Veteran’s Administration General Post Fund and participating collegiate institutions.
Operation Hat Trick was first developed by the University of New Hampshire to memorialize Nate Hardy and Mike Koch, two fallen U.S. Navy SEALs. The program was originally focused on providing collegiate caps to soldiers in VA Medical Centers who had suffered head injuries. Operation Hat Trick, whose name gets its roots from the New Hampshire region’s ties to ice hockey, has since evolved into a national program with dozens of colleges and universities across the nation participating in the effort to contribute to the VA General Post Fund.
“The primary objective for Operation Hat Trick is to build support and funds for our soldiers and veterans seeking medical treatment in VA medical centers,” said Dot Sheehan, the founder and director of Operation Hat Trick, and the licensing director at the University of New Hampshire. “We are excited about the participation of so many institutions in the national launch of this program and believe that college fans at these participating institutions will support of our veterans by purchasing Operation Hat Trick co-branded caps.”
CLC serves as the official licensing agent for the University of New Hampshire and manages the Operation Hat Trick licensing program.
“We are honored to be involved in Operation Hat Trick and are motivated by the program’s emphasis on supporting American military veterans,” said Brian White, Vice President of Partner Services for CLC. “The willingness of universities to leverage their powerful brands to support our veterans is inspiring. This has been a labor of love for our entire team.”
The University of Cincinnati is one of dozens of collegiate institutions participating in the Operation Hat Trick program.
“Our institution has a tradition of support for the military,” said Marty Ludwig, Licensing Director, University of Cincinnati. “We are very proud to support our veterans by participating in Operation Hat Trick.”
Officially licensed Operation Hat Trick caps, which are branded with the logos of participating schools, are produced by ’47 Brand, a Massachusetts-based manufacturer of premium quality headwear and apparel for more than 600 collegiate institutions and several professional leagues. The initial product offering will feature three styles including an adjustable camouflage cap, a school color cap, and a stretch fit style cap also in school colors.
Operation Hat Trick caps are available for purchase at campus bookstores and fan shops of the participating institutions.
