Help our fellow Airmen and Guardians and their families when they need us most! These four official charities of the Air Force take care of us from the day we join throughout our retirement years. And then they are there for our surviving spouses. AFAF is truly FOR AIRMEN AND GUARDIANS, BY AIRMEN AND GUARDIANS!!!
Why Give?
Good question. Take a look around any flight, any squadron. Whether it's a flight of 30, or a squadron of 300 - you never what any one of your wingmen is going through.
The four charities of the Air Force Assistance Fund provide that support for Airmen & Guardians in need. Whether it's emergency financial assistance, aid for education, community programs, or even helping Air Force widows and widowers pay their rent and bills during one of the most devastating times in their lives - the Air Force Assistance Fund is there to help. I'm fundraising for the AFAF Campaign because not only have I personally been supported by this fund both as a child to military parents, and as an adult with my own family to care for, but because of the dozens of Airmen I know personally that these charities have supported and saved.
These charities have been there for so many of our teammates, and they'll continue to be there for thousands more in the years to come, maybe even you: so let's all pay it forward!
