LIFTING OTHERS
THROUGH LEGACY
Hess Hempstead II was a loving husband, father,
family man, friend, and man of faith. In life, he was a former NFL Player & Scout, general contractor, construction manager, mentor, and entrepreneur.
Hess was perpetually committed to supporting and inspiring others to reach for their dreams. He desired to see underrepresented African-Americans take advantage of career opportunities in the construction industry for which he had a great passion.
This tax-deductible endowment scholarship fund will help lay the foundation for making his dream a reality for years to come. Join the dream maker team and make your tax-deductible donation today!
All scholarship donations are managed by EAF and are 100% tax deductable. Donors will receive a receipt from EAF.
African Americans make up 12% of US workers, but only 6% of the construction industry's workforce.
