Stairs4RTroops Mission
S4RT is run by a team of local
volunteers to give back to U.S. veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq
wars. S4RT aims to raise more than $430,000, the average cost of
building one home for a severely injured veteran, for the benefit of
HFOT. S4RT aims to build recurring events that make a difference in the
lives of our veterans and the S4RTroopers who climb on their behalf. The
annual event originated at Harvard Stadium with hopes of expanding to
stadiums across the country. Gillette Stadium is the first professional
sports venue to host the event.

veterans. HFOT builds homes where the veteran chooses to live and
continues its relationship with the veterans to assist them with
rebuilding their lives.
