Universal Branding & Media (UBM) has been signed on to help grow new opportunities with Operation Hat Trick (OHT) licensees, collaborations and supporters.
OHT got its start by giving hats to service members with head and brain injuries and soon realized that they could do even more by selling OHT merchandise and using the proceeds to support the recovery of service members and veterans. Since 2008, OHT has donated more than $1.8 million to selected organizations and has helped fill some critical gaps in care.
Operation Hat Trick has now turned into a national movement where its brand and mission are embraced by colleges and universities across all 50 states, major sports organizations like the NHL and NBA plus Minor League baseball teams, and over 100 companies like Sig Sauer, Texas Roadhouse, Spartan Race, the Lids Foundation and many others that help spread the word about veterans and our obligation to them. Every day, Operation Hat Trick reaches out to more fans, donors and partners to help improve the ives of veterans recovering from unthinkable injuries.
“I am very excited to partner with Universal Branding and Media,” says Dot Sheehan, Founder & President at Operation Hat Trick. “It gives Operation Hat Trick an opportunity to expand its reach into new areas with first class brands.
“Along with expansion comes more ability to support the recovery of wounded service members and veterans,” Sheehan added. “The need is greater than ever and together with UBM and new partners we will be able to fill some critical gaps in care and make a difference together.”
Universal Branding & Media (UBM) is a leader in licensing acquisition and consultation, with
deep experience and expertise connecting quality manufacturers with world-class brands.
But Amy Ingoldsby, VP Brand Development & Marketing, Universal Branding & Media, says that in this case the company also has an emotional stake in working with Operation Hat Trick.
“Universal Branding & Media has a long history of Army, Navy and Air Force family veterans, some of which spent time serving in WWII, so it was a simple decision to represent Operation Hat Trick as a brand partner,” said Ingoldsby. “Our team is honored because the brand speaks volumes to what can be accomplished when we open our hearts, get creative and give back to others.”
