Dan P. shares his experience as a host of the 2025 Hero-Hunts Foundation Hunt. He and Mike S. hosted three veterans for a day spent connecting with the outdoors.

At the Hero-Hunts Foundation, we wanted to make it possible for families of veterans and service members to experience a magical vacation together. In 2025, you helped us send four families to Walt Disney World!

Veteran Rusty K. attended one of our first annual Hunts. Afterwards, he decided he wanted to do what he could to give other veterans and service members the same experience.
