About Us

<br/>About Us

In 1998 a police sergeant, now retired Donnie Dixon recognized a need and was compelled to help several children who suffered from terminal illnesses or debilitating injuries as a result of tragic accidents. Not realizing the magnitude of the journey he was about to embark upon, he organized a golf tournament raising money to assist these families. 

Community and business support was solicited along with coordination of other events that helped  provide support to these families to cope with the financial burden and horrifying news of their children’s fate.   

If asked, all involved with our mission will tell you...“It’s all about the kids and Hometown Heroes would not be what it is today without every individual or business that volunteers, contributes and supports our mission."
