The latest episode of the "It’s Aaron" campaign features Camp Hometown Heroes, an organization dedicated to caring for children of fallen members of the U.S. military.

Alexis, Starr and Kylee Dampier, from the Wausau area, are featured in the episode.

"It’s Aaron," of course, is a partnership between Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Milwaukee-based attorney David Gruber of Gruber Law Offices. 

Camp Hometown Heroes was founded in 2013 by Jim Kacmarcik, President of Kapco Metal Stamping and Neil Willenson, who founded the national camp One Heartland for children affected by HIV/AIDS in 1993.  

The camp is operated by Hometown Heroes, a Grafton-based non-profit organization that utilizes thousands of volunteers to impact the lives of veterans, military families, first responders and children and families in need.

"By losing a loved one who served our great nation, these families paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy each day," said co-Founder Neil Willenson. Co-Founder Jim Kacmarcik added, "We owe it to their departed loved ones to provide these kids and their families with incredible opportunities for friendship, healing and fun."
