SIERRA VIVAS
From emergency assistance to educational assistance, to community programs, to helping widowed spouses stay in their home as long as possible, to providing a home for them when they no longer can -- the four charities of the AFAF Campaign provide assistance to us when we need it. I'm fundraising for the AFAF Campaign because not only have these charities helped people around me, they will be there for me tomorrow should I need their help too!!! Let's all pay it forward!!
Why give? Good question. Take a look around your squadron. Realize that if you're looking at 50 people, the likelihood of one or more of your coworkers and friends needing assistance sometime during their career or afterwards, is very great. At the same time you're looking at them...they're looking at you. Because any one of us, at any time, could experience a situation where we need help. The AFAF charities have been here for us over the years because our predecessors gave generously. So let's pay it forward to make sure our ability to take care of our own continues for years to come...let's pay it forward, Team!!!

GIVING TO A SPECIFIC AFAF CHARITY:
Your donation via the pathway to your base, squadron and Key Worker's fundraising page will provide each of the four Official Charities of the Department of the Air Force 25% of your donation. In doing so, you'll help move each thermometer up the chain! Unfortunately, this Peer-to-Peer donation portal won't allow for us to give you the ability to give to a specific charity.
If you do want to be able to specify the charities and amounts you give to each, you can use the below link to do so, however, your donation won't show up on the Campaign Event page or our base page, squadron page, or this one. Should you choose to use the link below anyway, PLEASE DO signify the base and unit of assignment on the 3rd page of the donation form though, because the official "AFAF Tracker Database" your Installation Project Officer uses to report actual donation amounts and pledges WILL be updated with your generous donation!!
