HOGE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HOGE WILD TV SHOW
"Hoge Wild" is an innovative outdoor adventure series dedicated to educating and raising
awareness about conservation. The show highlights destinations that support hunting and
fishing and teaches exceptional ways to prepare your harvest for healthy eating. It also pays
tribute to the stories and sacrifices of our military veterans. Ten (10) episodes will feature a
veteran as the star of the adventure, sharing their personal journey, struggles, and triumphs
amidst breathtaking settings. From fishing excursions to thrilling hunting adventures and
exhilarating scuba diving experiences, every episode will serve as a platform for veterans to
express themselves, connect with nature, and foster healing.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide veterans with a supportive and healing
environment while promoting awareness about their stories and challenges. By engaging them
in adventure-filled experiences, we intend to highlight their resilience and encourage community
engagement around mental health, rehabilitation, and reintegration into civilian life.
The impact of veterans' contributions to our society cannot be overstated, and through “Hoge
Wild,” we can honor their sacrifices and create a legacy of support and camaraderie. This series
aims to serve both as entertainment and as an avenue for sparking meaningful conversations
about veterans’ well-being.
