JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH –
The annual Air Force Assistance Fund campaign for Joint Base San Antonio will be kicking off on March 24 and runs through May 2, giving us all another opportunity to help our fellow Airmen when they need it most. The AFAF campaign supports four charities that are dedicated to caring for Airmen from induction through retirement and beyond.
The four charities are the Air Force Aid Society, Gen. and Mrs. Curtis E. LeMay Foundation, the Air Force Village and the Air Force Enlisted Village. These charities are not a part of the Combined Federal Campaign lineup you've seen. Instead, they are an example of Air Force people taking care of their own. Our annual campaign demonstrates this fact: Airmen take care of Airmen!
Our combined goal for JBSA this year is $363,000. With your help, I am positive we can exceed our goal.
You should soon be seeing a key worker visiting your work center to let you know all about the charities, answer any questions you may have, and give you the opportunity to donate if you should so choose.
You'll also be able to participate in fundraising events by way of helping or donating - either way, please get involved if you can! I invite our private organizations and units to be creative and have fun with your fundraisers for AFAF during our six-week campaign.
While the average Air Force installation has historically had between a 19 and 30 percent participation rate from their active duty members, I believe JBSA can certainly exceed the average! Remember, just a few dollars a month from your paycheck will ensure your fellow Airmen will have the assistance they need when they need it the most!
Thank you in advance for your consideration and for continuing our proud tradition of supporting the AFAF Campaign! If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the JBSA installation project officer 1st Lt. Amy Torres at DSN 473-2282, or assistant installation project officer Master Sgt Rolland Thomas at DSN 945-4896.
