JOINT BASE LANGELY-EUSTIS, Va. –
The 44th annual Air Force Assistance Fund campaign, for Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia kicks-off March 6, 2017 and runs through April 14, 2017.
The campaign is a fundraising appeal, conducted by U.S. Air Force personnel to help provide fellow Air Force personnel with financial support through four different charities.
According to a memorandum by U.S. Air Force Gen. Dave Goldfein, Chief of Staff, he said the ongoing theme for the AFAF is ‘Commitment to Caring,’ which mirrors the Airmen helping Airmen purpose of the campaign.
“The funds that are donated can be allocated to one or all four charities who assist Airmen and their families in possible time of need,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Rosnetta Hutchinson, JBLE AFAF representative. “Each unit will designate AFAF representatives, who will make 100 percent contact with Air Force personnel. The goal for the 2017 campaign is $136,075.”
The charities available for donations are:
-
The Air Force Aid Society - provides emergency financial assistance, educational loans and scholarships, spouse tuition assistance and an array of other base community enhancement programs.

The Air Force Village Charitable Foundation – provides retiree’s widows and widowers with a home, whether they are able to afford it on their own or not.
