Grand Island, NE – Hornady recently donated $56,051.50 to the GRACE Cancer Foundation in Grand Island, NE., with a matching amount going to the American Cancer Society for a total donation of $112,103 split evenly between the two organizations.

Through this initiative, Hornady has now donated more than $1 million over the last several years through a joint contribution to the GRACE Cancer Foundation and the American Cancer Society.

“We are honored to support the GRACE Cancer Foundation and American Cancer Society,” said Steve Hornady. “The assistance these organizations provide cancer patients, and their families is remarkable,” he added.

The donation was calculated using a portion of each box sold of Hornady Critical Defense Lite ammunition in 9mm and 38 Special. Critical Defense Lite features a pink bullet tip and pink ribbon packaging to help showcase the fight against cancer.
