“Harold always helped and had time for the kids,\u201d says longtime friend and influential New Yorker Dave Ortiz. \u201cThe work Harold started is carried forward today through the Harold Hunter Foundation\u2014it continues to help the kids Harold loved while contributing to Harold\u2019s legacy long after his death.”<\/p>\n

Since the organization\u2019s inception, more than 100 Skate Camp Scholarships have been awarded to deserving local skaters to attend Camp Woodward and\/or the Element YMCA Skate Camp through funds raised by the Harold Hunter Foundation.<\/p>\n

This year, in honor of Harold\u2019s 40th Birthday, the HHF is launching a \u201c$40,000 in 40 Days\u201d fundraising campaign.
