About Hugbacker

Hugbacker was born out of a genuine awe of big givers, and a desire to share their stories and extend the reach of their endeavors.

Caring, compassionate, inspiring…all ways of describing the awesome individuals we profile, and to whom we like to refer as big-shouldered. Lifting up those who could use a hand and setting them upon a pair of massive shoulders, where it’s fun, full of possibility, and has a killer view.

By sharing the ways in which these personalities in sports, entertainment, and business are giving back, our hope is that readers will get excited about making a difference in their own way. Hugbacker’s unique relationships and resources allow us to go beyond traditional blog-style reporting; with 1-on-1 interviews and onsite event coverage, our readers enjoy a fun, informative, and relatable social web experience. With fresh, relevant content ranging from quick updates to in-depth features, Hugbacker invites all to explore, interact, and have a blast.
