Henry Repeating Arms Makes 33 Rifles to Help Sick Indiana Boy

BAYONNE, NEW JERSEY -– The “Indiana Boy” rifle started when Anthony Imperato, President of Henry Repeating Arms learned of a two-year-old boy named Brayden who was born prematurely at 3 pounds, 2 ounces with a serious condition that left his intestines outside of his body. The surgery to remedy this condition led to infections and now most of his organs need to be replaced.
Mr. Imperato immediately offered the family assistance through the Guns for Great Causes branch of Henry Repeating Arms. 33 special edition rifles will be auctioned off and sold across the country to generate funds to help Brayden’s family cover the cost of the anti-rejection drugs that are required for a successful transplant operation of this severity.
The theme of the rifle is summed up with the brave warrior mouse and inspirational text found on the buttstock. The book on the stock reads, “And though he is small he is fierce, for love, hope and courage make Brayden a WARRIOR.” For nearly 3 years now Brayden has fought to stay alive showing bravery and strength miles beyond his age and size. He has been on a feeding tube for his entire life, and half his time since birth at Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis or traveling to and from it. Read more
