ABC Supply Co., Inc., has raised $4.7 million to support Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) as part of a significant fundraising effort in May for National Military Appreciation Month and in conjunction with the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500.
ABC Supply, an HFOT Platinum Partner, matched all donations up to $1 million for the month of May.
“Giving back to the community and honoring our Veterans is at the heart of who we are,” said Mike Jost, president and chief operating officer at ABC Supply. “The generosity we’ve seen throughout this campaign has been truly inspiring, and we are grateful to everyone who contributed to making a real difference for our Veterans.”
Since 2020, ABC Supply has proudly been a Platinum National Partner of Homes For Our Troops, a nonprofit organization that builds and donates custom, specially adapted homes for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans. Since its founding in 2004, HFOT has constructed over 400 specially adapted homes, helping Veterans and their families rebuild their lives.
“We are beyond grateful for ABC Supply’s sponsorship and support during the 2025 Indy 500,” said HFOT President/CEO Brigadier General, USA (Ret) Tom Landwermeyer. “Their generous $1 million match was instrumental to raising over $4 million during the month of May, and the patriotic livery of the No. 14 AJ Foyt Racing Chevy gave incredible visibility to our mission of Building Homes and Rebuilding Lives.”
For the fourth year in a row, ABC Supply led its monthlong fundraising campaign and proudly sponsored the striking red, white and blue livery of AJ Foyt Racing’s No. 14 Chevy. Driven by Santino Ferrucci, the patriotic powerhouse delivered an impressive fifth-place finish at this year’s Indianapolis 500.
“It was an honor to drive the Homes For Our Troops car in the Indianapolis 500 and extremely rewarding to know that they not only met their goal but exceeded it—again! Raising over four million dollars is incredible, and it will help a lot of our severely injured post-911 Veterans,” says driver Santino Ferrucci. “Those funds will go a very long way in building multiple houses for them, helping them financially and getting their lives back on track. At the end of the day, AJ Foyt Racing had a great Indianapolis 500 and Homes For Our Troops had an amazing one as well.”
Several HFOT Veterans were given the opportunity to take part in the weekend’s thrilling activities. They received exclusive access to a garage tour of the No. 14 AJ Foyt Racing Chevrolet driven by Santino Ferrucci, walked the iconic Yard of Bricks, and enjoyed a premier view of the stars-and-stripes-clad HFOT Indy car racing to an impressive fifth-place finish.
ABC Supply gifted the design of the AJ Foyt Racing No.14 Chevrolet to help raise funds and spread awareness for deserving Veterans. Santino Ferrucci drove to an impressive 5th place finish, marking his third year behind the wheel of the famed No. 14 Chevrolet.
Thank you for helping us cross the finish line of our fundraising goal to help get more severely injured post-9/11 Veterans into the secure homes they need and deserve. Because of your support, more injured Veterans and their families will have a safe place to call home.
