Anthony Imperato, President of Henry Repeating Arms immediately offered the family assistance through the Guns for Great Causes branch of Henry Repeating Arms. The 33 special edition rifles were 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 first of the series, serial number "BRAYDEN01" was auctioned off on www.gunbroker.com and sold on October 16th for $3,525. The remaining 32 rifles were sold directly through Henry Repeating Arms for $750 each.
