Frost Buddy And Operation Hat Trick (OHT) Announce Licensing Partnership To Support Injured Veterans And Service Members

HAMPTON, NH AND BOSTON, MA (October 31, 2024) – Operation Hat Trick (OHT) today announced a partnership with Frost Buddy, a leader in licensed collegiate cooler sales.

OHT has granted Frost Buddy non-exclusive rights to produce a comprehensive line of high quality OHT universal can and bottle coolers, which will be offered to select retailers with an interest in supporting injured veterans and service members.

“We are very excited to partner with Frost Buddy. They understand our mission is incredibly important,” said Dot Sheehan, Founder/CEO of Operation Hat Trick. “We believe retailers and consumers have a strong desire to buy products with deeper meaning, and we know our partners at Frost Buddy are proud to support those who sacrifice so much for our country.”

“We’ve always wanted to partner with a great organization to give back, but we never felt we could truly trust anyone until we met OHT,” says Brock Mammoser, co-founder of Frost Buddy. “It just felt right from the start. We also feel our military does not get enough love and support for the sacrifices they make for this country so we are so excited to partner up with OHT and support in any way we can!”

Product will be available beginning November 1 at frostbuddy.com.

About Operation Hat Trick

Operation Hat Trick is recognized by GuideStar as a Platinum seal of transparency organization for its responsible stewardship (https:/learn.guidestar.org/platinum). Dedicated to Nate Hardy and Mike Koch, two Navy SEALs who were killed in Iraq in 2008 and are buried side by side at Arlington National Cemetery, OHT never forgets their sacrifice.

OHT is differentiated from other veteran-focused nonprofits by its innovative operating model. OHT pioneered the first national philanthropic co-branded cause marketing retail apparel licensing program. Rather than relying on donations to raise money, OHT receives a royalty on every product purchase of co-branded apparel and merchandise in conjunction with over 500 supporting American colleges and universities, as well as many NHL, NBA and MiLB teams. Its products are also available via online retailers such as Fanatics, Amazon and national retailers including Cracker Barrel, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Academy Sports & Outdoors, Kohl’s, Lids, Scheels and more.

About Frost Buddy

Brock and Mitch Mammoser are brothers from a tiny farm town called Newton, Illinois. Both brothers pole vaulted for the Big Ten schools: Brock for Indiana University, and Mitch for University of Illinois. In 2020, as they were drinking from a slim can cooler and switched to a normal can, the “light bulb” moment hit - Why are people buying 3 or 4 can coolers from major brands when we could create a Universal?

Through digital marketing and creative product design, the brothers have attracted millions of followers, likes, and views, making their products a viral sensation, especially on Tik Tok. Frost Buddy became the #3 Thermocooler on Amazon within 4 months of being on the marketplace. Brock and Mitch are headed towards growing one of the largest drinkware & lifestyle brands in the world. As Frost Buddy grows, Brock and Mitch will always stay true to how they were raised, which is on Faith, Family, and now…Frost Buddy!
