Thank you to the 14th FTW for raising 103.76% of goal. With your backing, we will be able to support our fellow Airmen during the upcoming year.Donations began to gradually trickle in with the largest jumps seen beginning in the 4th week of the campaign. At that time, we were at around 75% of our base goal and successfully closed the gap during the last few weeks. I’d like to thank all of the key workers, group point of contacts and finally all of you for making this campaign a success. The AFAF is the official nonprofit, charitable organization of the Air Force. The organization provides support to Airmen and their families – active duty and retired, officers and enlisted.
