RICE LAKE, Wis. – June 26, 2025 – Henry is stepping up to support 13-year-old Keane Rhodes of Universal City, Texas, who is currently undergoing aggressive treatment for ALL T-cell leukemia. Diagnosed on New Year’s Day, 2024, Keane faces at least two years of chemotherapy, radiation, and countless trips to Methodist Children’s Hospital of San Antonio.

To help offset the family’s growing medical expenses, Henry Repeating Arms donated a limited-edition run of fifty “Team Keane” Golden Boy .22 lever-action rifles through its Guns For Great Causes charitable branch, with 100% of the proceeds donated directly to Keane’s family. The first and last serial numbers are now available in online auctions until July 9 at 9:00 PM Eastern. The remaining rifles are available for purchase online. All firearm purchases must ship to a federally licensed firearms dealer.

The limited-edition series of fifty Henry “Team Keane” Golden Boy .22 rifles features engraved and colored artwork inspired by the passions of 13-year-old Keane Rhodes of Universal City, Texas.

Keane is an avid athlete and outdoorsman who dreams of becoming a professional baseball player or a pyrotechnical engineer one day. Throughout his diagnosis and treatments, he remains in high spirits, surrounded by a loving community of friends, teammates, and family.

“Keane’s story is one of incredible bravery and resilience, and it’s our honor to rally behind him and his family during his fight,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “This young man’s potential is boundless, and I hope to see his name on the back of a professional jersey one day. On behalf of everyone at Henry, I send a heartfelt thanks to all who choose to join Team Keane with the purchase of one of these rifles.”

Built on Henry’s award-winning Golden Boy .22 platform, the rifles feature a polished Brasslite receiver, octagon barrel, and genuine American walnut stocks. The buttstock is engraved and finished in full color with custom artwork honoring Keane’s passions, including football, baseball, hunting, and fishing, as well as his nickname, “Honey Badger,” earned on the football field for his fearless play style. Each rifle bears unique serial numbers ranging from TEAMKEANE01 through TEAMKEANE50. Baron Engraving of Trumbull, Connecticut, donated the artwork and engraving services.
